n_gsm is based on the 3GPP 07.010 and its newer version is the 3GPP 27.010.
See https://portal.3gpp.org/desktopmodules/Specifications/SpecificationDetails.aspx?specificationId=1516
The changes from 07.010 to 27.010 are non-functional. Therefore, I refer to
the newer 27.010 here. Chapter 5.4.3.1 states the CR bit in UI and UIH
frames shall always be set 1 by the initiator and 0 by the responder.
Currently, gsm_queue() has a pre-processor gated (excluded) check which
treats all frames that conform to the standard as malformed frames.
Remove this optional code to avoid confusion and possible breaking changes
in case that someone includes it.

This has nothing to do with the change you made here.

Again, nothing to do with the code change.

This "fixes" nothing :(

How is commenting out unused code a stable backport requirement?

All you are doing is cleaning up dead code.  Not a big deal, and not
worth all the text above to confuse people :(
