USB: remove README file
This file is really really old, and doesn't make any sense to keep around anymore, so just drop it. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

-To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
-
- * This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
- includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
- ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
- "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
- more information.
-
- * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
- such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
- The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
- peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
-
- * Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
- host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
- controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
- cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
-
- * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
- functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
- but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
-
-Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
-them.
-
-core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
- usbfs files and the hub class driver ("hub_wq").
-
-host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
- includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
- be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
-
-gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
- the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
-
-
-Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
-first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
-
-image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
- digital cameras.
-../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
- like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
-../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
- radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
- subsystem.
-../net/ - This is for network drivers.
-serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
-storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
-class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
- into any of the above categories, and work for a range
- of USB Class specified devices.
-misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
- into any of the above categories.
