staging: r8188eu: Remove support for devices with 8188FU chipset (0bda:f179)
[ Upstream commit 6723b283c44a3fdf9f922ae9788aab38bd909211 ]
The new r8188eu driver doesn't actually support devices with vendor ID 0bda
and product ID f179[0][1][2], remove the ID so owners of these devices
don't have to blacklist the staging driver.
