Thank you so much for your review, Brian!

Yes, it does seem to me that X.25 is unmaintained. I'm submitting
patches for it because I'm personally interested in X.25 and I want to
fix things that I find to be having issues. But it's very hard for me
to do so because it's hard to find reviewers for X.25 code. So I
really appreciate that you review this patch. Thanks!

I don't know if it is the right thing to continue submitting patches
for X.25, or we should just keep the code as is. Maybe the kernel
community can have a discussion some time to decide what to do with
it.
