X86 platform drivers: Remove EC dump from thinkpad_acpi

There is a general interface for that now (provided by
other patches in this patch series):

+EXPERIMENTAL: Embedded controller register dump
+-----------------------------------------------
 
-EXPERIMENTAL: Embedded controller register dump -- /proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-This feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL because the implementation
-directly accesses hardware registers and may not work as expected. USE
-WITH CAUTION! To use this feature, you need to supply the
-experimental=1 parameter when loading the module.
-
-This feature dumps the values of 256 embedded controller
-registers. Values which have changed since the last time the registers
-were dumped are marked with a star:

-This feature can be used to determine the register holding the fan
-speed on some models. To do that, do the following:
+This feature is not included in the thinkpad driver anymore.
+Instead the EC can be accessed through /sys/kernel/debug/ec with
+a userspace tool which can be found here:
+ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/trenn/sources/ec
 
+Use it to determine the register holding the fan
+speed on some models. To do that, do the following:
 	- make sure the battery is fully charged
 	- make sure the fan is running
-	- run 'cat /proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump' several times, once per second or so
-
-The first step makes sure various charging-related values don't
-vary. The second ensures that the fan-related values do vary, since
-the fan speed fluctuates a bit. The third will (hopefully) mark the
-fan register with a star:

-Another set of values that varies often is the temperature
+	- use above mentioned tool to read out the EC
+
+Often fan and temperature values vary between
 readings. Since temperatures don't change vary fast, you can take
 several quick dumps to eliminate them.
