Philipp Hortmann 8898f64f7a staging: fieldbus: Delete unused driver
Sven Van Asbroeck contributed this driver in 2019.

The following reasons lead to the removal:
- This driver generates maintenance workload
- only 11 patches during the last 3 years. Part of the patches seem to be
  motivated because of maintenance (for example - remove deprecated
  function)
- Maintainer lost interest, last "Reviewed-by:" is May 2021
- no blog about usage of this driver

The staging subsystem is the way for drivers into the kernel - at current
speed and interest this is never going to happen. I think that fieldbus
is an interesting topic. But when almost nobody cares about this driver,
it does not make sense to keep it. Please consider that support will
remain for years in the longterm kernels.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
