The removal looks good to me.

Acked-by: Crescent Hsieh <[email protected]>

With drivers/tty/moxa.c removed, the following device IDs in
include/linux/pci_ids.h would have no remaining users:

- PCI_DEVICE_ID_MOXA_CP204J
- PCI_DEVICE_ID_MOXA_C218
- PCI_DEVICE_ID_MOXA_C320

Would it make sense to remove them as part of this patch as well?
