drivers: misc: Remove MISC_DEVICES config option

MISC_DEVICES option alone does not select any kernel code and can cause dependency build warnings, such as: warning: (KS8851 && AX88796_93CX6 && RTL8180 && RTL8187 && ADM8211 && RT2400PCI && RT2500PCI && RT61PCI && RT2800PCI && R8187SE) selects EEPROM_93CX6 which has unmet direct dependencies (MISC_DEVICES) As the current drivers/misc/Kconfig stands, it is only possible to select the drivers below if MISC_DEVICES option is selected: source "drivers/misc/c2port/Kconfig" source "drivers/misc/eeprom/Kconfig" source "drivers/misc/cb710/Kconfig" source "drivers/misc/iwmc3200top/Kconfig" source "drivers/misc/ti-st/Kconfig" source "drivers/misc/lis3lv02d/Kconfig" source "drivers/misc/carma/Kconfig" source "drivers/misc/altera-stapl/Kconfig" So remove MISC_DEVICES option so that nothing is dependant on it.
