[PATCH v2] cpufreq: elanfreq: Drop support for AMD Elan SC4*

[PATCH v2] cpufreq: elanfreq: Drop support for AMD Elan SC4*

[Sean Young]

Since commit 8b793a92d862 ("x86/cpu: Remove M486/M486SX/ELAN support"),
the AMD Elan SC4* is no longer supported, so the cpu frequency
driver is no longer needed.

Signed-off-by: Sean Young <sean@mess.org>

Changes since v1:
 - Also removes elanfreq= entry from kernel-parameters.txt
