981b22b877 tty: remove TTY_LDISC_MAGIC
First, it is never checked. Second, use of it as a debugging aid is
at least questionable. With the current tools, I don't think anyone used
this kind of thing for debugging purposes for years.

On the top of that, e.g. serdev does not set this field of tty_ldisc_ops
at all.

So get rid of this legacy.

3b00b6af7a tty: rocket, remove the driver
While the driver is still marked as maintained in MAINTAINERS, Comtrol
does not really care about this ancient driver. They are still
manufacturing serial devices, but those are controlled only by
out-of-tree drivers.

Comtrol didn't answer my pings, so this driver is apparently
unmaintained.  Aside from that, the driver was untouched for years, only
whole-tree changes happened during the past years. The driver needs much
more care, so drop it for now. If someone steps up to reintroduce it,
they need to clean it up first.

67b1544a55 tty: isicom, remove this orphan
The Isicom driver was orphaned by commit d86b3001a1a6 (MAINTAINERS:
orphan isicom) 10 years ago. Noone stepped up to take care of them and
to fix all the issues the driver has.

So it's time to drop the driver with all its traces.

f76edd8f7c tty: cyclades, remove this orphan
The Cyclades driver was orphaned by commit d459883e6c54 (MAINTAINERS:
remove two dead e-mail) 13 years ago. Noone stepped up to take care of
them and to fix all the issues the driver has.

On the top of that, there is no way to obtain the firmware for Z cards
from the vendor as cyclades.com ceased to exist.

So it's time to drop the driver with all its traces.

f8408264c7 drivers: Remove CONFIG_OPROFILE support
The "oprofile" user-space tools don't use the kernel OPROFILE support
any more, and haven't in a long time. User-space has been converted to
the perf interfaces.

Remove kernel's old oprofile support.

f8ae7bbec7 net: x25_asy: Delete the x25_asy driver
This driver transports LAPB (X.25 link layer) frames over TTY links.

I can safely say that this driver has no actual user because it was
not working at all until:
commit 8fdcabeac398 ("drivers/net/wan/x25_asy: Fix to make it work")

The code in its current state still has problems:

1.
The uses of "struct x25_asy" in x25_asy_unesc (when receiving) and in
x25_asy_write_wakeup (when sending) are not protected by locks against
x25_asy_change_mtu's changing of the transmitting/receiving buffers.
Also, all "netif_running" checks in this driver are not protected by
locks against the ndo_stop function.

2.
The driver stops all TTY read/write when the netif is down.
I think this is not right because this may cause the last outgoing frame
before the netif goes down to be incompletely transmitted, and the first
incoming frame after the netif goes up to be incompletely received.

And there may also be other problems.

I was planning to fix these problems but after recent discussions about
deleting other old networking code, I think we may just delete this
driver, too.

fba67e8f89 Remove every trace of SERIAL_MAGIC
This means removing support for checking magic in amiserial.c
(SERIAL_PARANOIA_CHECK option), which was checking a magic field which
doesn't currently exist in the struct. That code hasn't built at least
since git.

Removing the definition from the header is safe anyway as that code was
from another driver and not including it.
