The last localtalk driver is gone now, and ppp support was never fully
merged, but the code to support them for phase1 networking still calls
the deprecated .ndo_do_ioctl() helper.

guard all of the corres

The ieee802154 socket implementation is the last remaining caller of the
netdevice ioctl callback. In order to completely remove this, add a custom
pointer to the existing wpan_dev specific operations structure. Since that
structure is currently only used to wrap the 'create'

The old .ndo_do_ioctl() callback is never called any more, instead the
driver should set .ndo_eth_ioctl() for the phy operations.

The .ndo_do_ioctl functions are never called, and can just be removed,
especially since this is a staging driver.

The ndo_do_ioctl function has no actual callers, and doesn't do much here,
so just remove it entirely as preparation for removing the callback pointer
from net_device_ops.

The .ndo_do_ioctl functions are never called, so the three implementation here
is useless but only works as a way to identify the device in the notifiers,
which can really be removed as well.

This function has no callers, and for the past 20 years, the request_firmware

The ioctl handler has no actual callers in the kernel and is useless.
All the functionality should be reachable through the regualar interfaces.

TCP pingpong threshold is 1 by default. But some applications, like SQL DB
may prefer a higher pingpong threshold to activate delayed acks in quick
ack mode for better performance.
The pingpong threshold and related code were changed to 3 in the year
