[PATCH] (2/4) get rid of register_frad

[Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@xxxxxxxx>]

The sdla and dlci drivers have a callback interface which only stores a name
in a table, but doesn't do anything useful. Looks like an interface which has
lost it's usefulness and can be safely removed.

Tested on 2.6.0-test5 by exercising the higher layer (dlci) without real 
hardware.
