Two years ago, at LPC, the only known user of the k210, Damien, gave his
okay to delete the platform from the kernel but this never actually took
place. Deprecate the platform now, marking it as broken so that users
will have to explicitly re-enable it on updating their kernels.

Another patch written during a talk, but it's simple so suuuuurely it'll
not be broken, right?

Sad... But yeah, this platform never was really super useful in itself, beside
the code cleanups it generated.

FTR, I still test each renesas-drivers release on SiPEED MAiX BiT...

Sad to see it go, but it's indeed been a while since the kernel was small
enough to actually get to a shell prompt...
