Pull networking deletions from Jakub Kicinski:
"Delete some obsolete networking code
Old code like amateur radio and NFC have long been a burden to core
networking developers. syzbot loves to find bugs in BKL-era code, and
noobs try to fix them.
If we want to have a fighting chance of surviving the LLM-pocalypse
this code needs to find a dedicated owner or get deleted. We've talked
about these deletions multiple times in the past and every time
someone wanted the code to stay. It is never very clear to me how many
of those people actually use the code vs are just nostalgic to see it
go. Amateur radio did have occasional users (or so I think) but most
users switched to user space implementations since its all super slow
stuff. Nobody stepped up to maintain the kernel code.
We were lucky enough to find someone who wants to help with NFC so
we're giving that a chance. Let's try to put the rest of this code
behind us"
