What:	Removing the pn544 raw driver.

When:	3.6

Why:	With the introduction of the NFC HCI and SHDL kernel layers, pn544.c

	is being replaced by pn544_hci.c which is accessible through the netlink

	and socket NFC APIs. Moreover, pn544.c is outdated and does not seem to

	work properly with the latest Android stacks.

	Having 2 drivers for the same hardware is confusing and as such we

	should only keep the one following the kernel NFC APIs.
