[ALSA] remove gameport/MIDI support
Documentation,PCI drivers,Intel8x0 driver
snd-intel8x0's gameport/MIDI code has quite a few problems: the port
addresses cannot be detected reliably (or not at all with newer LPC
bridge devices), joystick port address 0x208 isn't supported, the MIDI
interrupt isn't detected, PnP isn't supported, changing the port
addresses in the LPC bridge configuration doesn't affect the devices
in the Super-I/O chip connected to the LPC bus, and registering this
driver for the LPC bridge PCI device prevents other drivers using the
LPC's PCI id from loading later.
All these problems can be cured by removing the offending code and
using the proper modules for these devices (ns558/snd-mpu401) instead.
