This SoC family was destined for server use, featuring Qualcomm's very
interesting Kryo cores (before "Kryo" became a marketing term for Arm
cores with small modifications). It did however not leave the labs of
Qualcomm and presumably some partners, nor was it ever productized.

Remove the related drivers, as they seem to be long obsolete.

Sad day indeed, but understandable.

If you're looking for other QDF stuff to remove, the QDF2400 hacks in
the SBSA UART driver really should go.

I have a branch completely axing it, but it looks like Qualcomm
apparently still uses some internally [1].. I'm not super happy,
but let's wait on this one.
