Hal_EfuseParseBoardType_8723BS() reads the board option byte from the
efuse and stores bits 5 through 7 in pHalData->BoardType. Nothing in
the driver ever reads pHalData->BoardType, so the value isn't used.
The function also tries to fall back to a default when the efuse byte
is unprogrammed, but the check can never be true:
BoardType = (hwinfo[...] & 0xE0) >> 5; /* at most 7 */
if (BoardType == 0xFF) /* never true */
Remove the function, the one place it's called, and the unused
BoardType member of struct hal_com_data. This doesn't change how the
driver behaves.

Notes:
Compile-tested only. I don't have the rtl8723bs hardware.
