Per Opus structural critique §4.1 (#if 0 graveyard), §4.3 (asm
volatile("nop") placeholder), §4.4 (BUG_ON in steady-state hot
path).  Pure source-tree cleanup, no functional change.

Removed:

  1. bh.c lines 319-395 (76-line #if 0 block) — dead helper
     functions inherited from cw1200 ancestor:
     bes2600_bh_read_ctrl_reg, bes2600_get_skb, bes2600_put_skb,
     bes2600_device_wakeup.  Compiled out for years.

  2. bh.c lines 405-873 + line 1659 (the outer #if 0 / #else /
     #endif) — 468-line cw1200-ancestor bes2600_bh() function body,
     preserved verbatim alongside the active impl.  Same function
     name, same goto labels.  Maintenance hazard removed.

  3. bh.c done: label body — `__bes2600_irq_enable(1)` placeholder
     (commented out) + `asm volatile ("nop")` filler.  Both
     no-ops on bes2600 silicon.

  4. bh.c post-loop "Explicitly disable device interrupts" block
     (sbus lock + __bes2600_irq_enable(0) + sbus unlock) — the
     stub call wrapped in lock/unlock ceremony.  Dead.

  5. hwio.c __bes2600_irq_enable() function definition —
     `int __bes2600_irq_enable(int enable) { return 0; }`.  Stub.
     Removed entirely.

  6. sbus.h __bes2600_irq_enable() forward declaration.

Replaced:

  7. bh.c bes2600_bh outer-loop BUG_ON(hw_bufs_used > numInpChBufs)
     -> WARN_ON_ONCE.  The BUG_ON ran every bh-loop iteration;
     tripping it on a bookkeeping bug locks the kernel up during
     normal operation — the wrong response to a (recoverable)
     accounting drift.  WARN_ON_ONCE surfaces the issue without
     taking the system down.

Why __bes2600_irq_enable was a stub on bes2600:

  cw1200 has the same-named function (drivers/net/wireless/st/cw1200/
  hwio.c:267) that does real work — reads ST90TDS_CONFIG_REG_ID and
  toggles the ST90TDS_CONF_IRQ_RDY_ENABLE bit.  bes2600 inherited
  the function name + signature when forked, but the bes2600 chip's
  IRQ enable is managed by sdio_claim_irq + chip-side firmware, not
  by a driver-side enable register.  Bestechnic kept the function as
  a no-op stub (return 0).  Patch H removes the dead infrastructure.

Diff scope:

  - bes2600/bh.c   -578/+27   (mostly deletions)
  - bes2600/hwio.c -7/+7     (stub function -> comment block)
  - bes2600/sbus.h -2/+1     (declaration -> comment)
  - net: -578/+28 across 3 files

Build verification deferred — ohm offline.  Pure-deletion change,
no semantic risk; the deleted code was either #if 0-gated
(never compiled) or stub-implementations (always returned 0).
