Subject: [PATCH 12/15] drivers: net: slip: remove SLIP_MAGIC
According to Greg, in the context of magic numbers as defined in
magic-number.rst, "the tty layer should not need this and I'll gladly
take patches"
We have largely moved away from this approach,
and we have better debugging instrumentation nowadays: kill it
Additionally, all SLIP_MAGIC checks just early-exit instead
of noting the bug, so they're detrimental, if anything
