[PATCH] aspeed: Deprecate the tacoma-bmc machine

[Cédric Le Goater]

The tacoma-bmc machine was a board including an AST2600 SoC based BMC
and a witherspoon like OpenPOWER system. It was used for bring up of
the AST2600 SoC in labs. It can be easily replaced by the rainier-bmc
machine which is part of a real product offering.
