    sparc: Kill PROM console driver. · 09d3f3f0

    Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these
    days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it
    in any situation.
    
    Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a
    bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary.
    
    If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of
    depending upon this crutch to save us.  We've been able to take care
    of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500)
    so there are no excuses.
