[PATCH 1/2] misc: remove CONFIG_MISC_DEVICES

[Arnd Bergmann]

Since misc devices have nothing in common besides fitting in no
other category, there is no need to group them in one Kconfig
symbol. Simply removing the symbol gets rid of all sorts of
Kconfig warnings about missing dependencies when another driver
selects a misc driver without also selecting MISC_DEVICES.
