dgrs: remove from build, config, and maintainer list

Browse Source 
Stop building and configuring driver for Digi RightSwitch, which was
never actually sold to anyone, and remove it from MAINTAINERS.

In response to an investigation into the firmware of the "Digi Rightswitch"
driver, Andres Salomon discovered:

Since the product never reached market, clearly nobody is using this orphaned
driver.

The Digi International RightSwitch SE-X (dgrs) Device Driver
This is a Linux driver for the Digi International RightSwitch SE-X
EISA and PCI boards. These are 4 (EISA) or 6 (PCI) port Ethernet
switches and a NIC combined into a single board. This driver can
be compiled into the kernel statically or as a loadable module.
There is also a companion management tool, called "xrightswitch".
The management tool lets you watch the performance graphically,
as well as set the SNMP agent IP and IPX addresses, IEEE Spanning
Tree, and Aging time. These can also be set from the command line
when the driver is loaded. The driver command line options are:
debug=NNN Debug printing level
dma=0/1 Disable/Enable DMA on PCI card
spantree=0/1 Disable/Enable IEEE spanning tree
hashexpire=NNN Change address aging time (default 300 seconds)
ipaddr=A,B,C,D Set SNMP agent IP address i.e. 199,86,8,221
iptrap=A,B,C,D Set SNMP agent IP trap address i.e. 199,86,8,221
ipxnet=NNN Set SNMP agent IPX network number
nicmode=0/1 Disable/Enable multiple NIC mode
There is also a tool for setting up input and output packet filters
on each port, called "dgrsfilt".
Both the management tool and the filtering tool are available
separately from the following FTP site:
ftp://ftp.dgii.com/drivers/rightswitch/linux/
When nicmode=1, the board and driver operate as 4 or 6 individual
NIC ports (eth0...eth5) instead of as a switch. All switching
functions are disabled. In the future, the board firmware may include
a routing cache when in this mode.
