hwmon: (asus_wmi_ec_sensors) remove driver
This driver utilises a WMI interface found in AMD 500 series ASUS boards,
to read EC registers. But it turned out that ASUS abandoned the
interface, as it disappeared from Intel 600 series boards. Additionally,
the WMI interface was incredibly slow. Therefore this driver was deprecated
in favor of the asus_ec_sensors driver, which supports more boards, more
sensors, and is faster.
