pcmcia: remove AT91RM9200 Compact Flash driver

As noted by Arnd Bergmann, "we used to have three drivers for the same
hardware (pcmcia, pata and ide), and only the pcmcia driver remained
in the tree after drivers/ide/ was removed and pata_at91 did not get
converted to DT". "There is no dts file in tree that actually declares
either of them, so chances are that nobody is actually using the CF
slot on at91 any more."[1]

On this rationale, remove the AT91RM9200 Compact Flash driver, which
also assists in reaching "the goal of stopping exporting OF-specific
APIs of gpiolib".[2]
