Staging: panel: remove support for smartcards

Smartcard support was more like a proof-of-concept than a completed
work. It was only able to read serial numbers from a few smartcards,
and the goal was to be able to secure keypad access with a smartcard.
Given how the concept was limited, this was never used beyond demos,
and it's better to remove this code so that nobody tries to use it
for security purposes.

The function panel_bind_callback() was ifdef'ed out, as its only user
was smartcard. However, it would be a waste to remove it because many
variations made on this driver will need it.

Say Y here if you have an HD44780 or KS-0074 LCD connected to your
parallel port. This driver also features 4 and 6-key keypads, and a
'smartcard' reader. The LCD is accessible through the /dev/lcd char
device (10, 156), the keypad through /dev/keypad (10, 185), and the
smartcard through /dev/smartcard (10, 186). Both require misc device
to be enabled. This code can either be compiled as a module, or linked
into the kernel and started at boot. If you don't understand what all
this is about, say N.

This enables the 'smartcard' reader as installed on the server at

a telephone-card reader. It is left here for demonstration and
