staging: rts5208: Remove unused driver 

Wei Wang from Realsil contributed this driver in 2011.

The following reasons lead to the removal:
- This driver generates maintenance workload
- Did not find minimal documentation on the web.
- No blog entries about anyone using the rts5208 and rts5288 during the
  last years.
- Did not find any device that may has it in and is still available on
  the market.
