[Buildroot] [PATCH] rtl8188eu: remove package

[Luca Ceresoli via buildroot <buildroot@buildroot.org>]

From: Luca Ceresoli <luca.ceresoli@bootlin.com>

This package fails building with a kernel >= 6.0 [0] due to internal API
changes [1]:

  .../ioctl_cfg80211.c: In function ‘rtw_cfg80211_indicate_connect’:
  ...ioctl_cfg80211.c:709:12: error: ‘struct cfg80211_roam_info’ has no member named ‘channel’
  709 |   roam_info.channel = notify_channel;
      |            ^
  ...ioctl_cfg80211.c:710:12: error: ‘struct cfg80211_roam_info’ has no member named ‘bssid’
  710 |   roam_info.bssid = cur_network->network.MacAddress;
      |            ^

There is currently no fix in the github repository, and it's probably not
worth fixing because, as the Config.in help text states:

  This is needed only for Linux kernels before 3.12.
  Since 3.12, there is a (staging) driver in mainline, with a
  similar codebase.

Kernel 3.12 is 9 years old now, and the oldest kernel currently supported
is 4.9.
