[RFC] staging: vt6655: Proposal to delete driver vt6655_stage

[Philipp Hortmann <philipp.g.hortmann@gmail.com>]

Dear Sirs,

Forest Bond contributed this driver in 2009.

The following points let me propose to delete the driver:
- This driver generates maintenance workload
- This driver has a maximum 54MBit/s as it supports only 802.11 b/g. 
Peak throughput is 3MBytes/s but this lasts only for a second. Typically 
throughput is 1.7MBytes/s.
- Depending on the number of devices on the channel the device looses 
connection and cannot reconnect for 5-60 seconds. Watching a youtube 
video is OK because of the buffer. But surfing can then be really a pain.
- Its form factor is mini PCI (not miniPCIe) that is really old and large.
- Hardly not to buy. 
(https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p4432023.m570.l1313&_nkw=vnt6655&_sacat=0) 
only 70$ ;-) including shipment.

Former Maintainer Forest Bond <forest@alittletooquiet.net> is unreachable.

The staging subsystem needs to focus on drivers that support usable 
hardware that is available. Newbies can then get the hardware for some 
dollars and play around which is fun.

Please consider that support will remain for years in the longterm kernels.

Thanks for any response about your thoughts.

Bye Philipp
