drivers:misc: ti-st: move from rfkill to sysfs

Browse source

The communication between ST KIM and UIM was interfaced
over the /dev/rfkill device node.
Move the interface to a simpler less abusive sysfs entry
mechanism and document it in Documentation/ABI/testing/
under sysfs-platform-kim.

Shared transport driver would now read the UART details
originally received by bootloader or firmware as platform
data.
The data read will be shared over sysfs entries for the user-space
UIM or other n/w manager/plugins to be read, and assist the driver
by opening up the UART, setting the baud-rate and installing the
line discipline.
