[alsa-devel] Can we remove un-used Sound driver ?

These patches remove Renesas SuperH base un-used sound drivers.
Maybe, these had been used from out-of-tree (?). But ...
 - these are for very old SoC / platform
 - these are not used/enabled from upstreamed platform
 - maintenance cost is not zero
 - we can't test/check these drivers since we don't have these board.

I'm very sad, but...
Good bye migor
Good bye sh7760
Good bye ssi
Good bye siu
Good bye hac
