    MIPS: BCM63XX: drop unused and broken DSP platform device · 682fee80

    Trying to register the DSP platform device results in a null pointer
    access:
    
    [    0.124184] CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00000000, epc == 804e305c, ra == 804e6f20
    [    0.135208] Oops[#1]:
    [    0.137514] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted 4.14.87
    ...
    [    0.197117] epc   : 804e305c bcm63xx_dsp_register+0x80/0xa4
    [    0.202838] ra    : 804e6f20 board_register_devices+0x258/0x390
    ...
    
    This happens because it tries to copy the passed platform data over the
    platform_device's unpopulated platform_data.
    
    Since this code has been broken since its submission, no driver was ever
    submitted for it, and apparently nobody was using it, just remove it
    instead of trying to fix it.
