[PATCH 3.8 47/91] Staging: tidspbridge: disable driver

3.8.13.15 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh at linuxfoundation.org>

commit 930ba4a374b96560ef9fde2145cdc454a164ddcc upstream.

There seems to be no active maintainer for the driver, and there is an
unfixed security bug, so disable the driver for now.

Hopefully someone steps up to be the maintainer, and works to get this
out of staging, otherwise it will be deleted soon.
