wireless: mark prism54 as deprecated and mark for removal

The preferred module is p54pci which also supports FullMAC
PCI / Cardbus devices. We schedule removal for 2.6.34. Reason
to remove this is no one really is testing prism54 anymore,
and while it works p54pci provides support for the same hardware.
It should be noted I have been told some FullMAC devices may not
have worked with the SoftMAC driver but to date we have yet to
recieve a single bug report regarding this. If there are users
out there please let us know!

-	  If you enable this you will need a firmware file as well.
-	  You will need to copy this to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/isl3890.
-	  You can get this non-GPL'd firmware file from the Prism54 project page:
-	  <http://prism54.org>
-	  You will also need the /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent script from
-	  a current hotplug package.

-	  Note: You need a motherboard with DMA support to use any of these cards

-	  If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be
-	  inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
-	  say M here and read <file:Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt>.
-	  The module will be called prism54.
