[PATCH, RFC 2/3] ARM: gemini: remove platform support

I am using the Gemini platform for an OpenWRT port to the
NAS IB4220 B and I am maintaing patches for the complete
support, including network, disk and and USB.

A few days ago I ported everything already to 3.7.1 (pretty
much the same changes like I saw in RFC 1/3)

I am willing to become maintainer for this platform and
would apreciate to keep it in the mainline. There is also
no problem with the tests, as I have several devices and
more than 100 users using this kernel.

Thanks
Tobias
