Rafał Miłecki 416243107b kernel: drop old uimage splitter from 4.4
For a long time we have a dedicated firmware splitter for uimage as a
replacement for the one builtin into mtd subsystem. For a year we got a
proper warning for users sticking to the old one (r43700). It should be
really safe to drop it now, especially since we do it for 4.4 only.

+ ---help---
+ MyLoader is a bootloader which allows the user to define partitions
+ in flash devices, by putting a table in the second erase block
+ on the device, similar to a partition table. This table gives the
+ offsets and lengths of the user defined partitions.
+
+ If you need code which can detect and parse these tables, and
+ register MTD 'partitions' corresponding to each image detected,
+ enable this option.
+
+ You will still need the parsing functions to be called by the driver
+ for your particular device. It won't happen automatically.
