commit 3a0db7215c88077b61a673215756ec4a0dc0c7a5
"TTY: serial, move 68360 driver to staging"
did so because the driver had remained broken since 2008. It also
added this text to the TODO file:
"If no one steps up to adopt any of these drivers, they will
be removed in the 3.4 release."
A quick search on the internet doesn't reveal anyone actively
trying to update/fix this driver, so follow through on the above
and remove it from the pending 3.4 release.

[ commit 3a0db72 was present in v3.2 in case people were wondering.
Geert - I know you'd said "uClinux" wrt. 3a0db72, but I left you
on the CC since the CONFIG_M68360 dependency comes from m68k. ]

CC added.
m68k and m68knommu got merged, but Greg still handles the nommu
and coldfire parts.

Thanks for this, but as I missed the merge window for 3.4, I'll queue it
up for 3.5 just to be safe.

Thanks Greg,
I only happened to stumble upon it last night or I would have
sent it earlier. No harm in it sitting there another release.
Feel free to prune the "from 3.4" off the end of the shortlog.
Paul.
