+Description:
+
+  As a Kconfig option, individual GPIO signals may be accessed from
+  userspace.  GPIOs are only made available to userspace by an explicit
+  "export" operation.  If a given GPIO is not claimed for use by
+  kernel code, it may be exported by userspace (and unexported later).
+  Kernel code may export it for complete or partial access.
+
+  GPIOs are identified as they are inside the kernel, using integers in
+  the range 0..INT_MAX.  See Documentation/gpio.txt for more information.

+Linux Phonet protocol family
+============================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Phonet is a packet protocol used by Nokia cellular modems for both IPC
+and RPC. With the Linux Phonet socket family, Linux host processes can
+receive and send messages from/to the modem, or any other external
+device attached to the modem. The modem takes care of routing.
+
+Phonet packets can be exchanged through various hardware connections
+depending on the device, such as:
+  - USB with the CDC Phonet interface,
+  - infrared,
+  - Bluetooth,
+  - an RS232 serial port (with a dedicated "FBUS" line discipline),
+  - the SSI bus with some TI OMAP processors.
+
+
+Packets format
+--------------
+
+Phonet packets have a common header as follows:
+
+  struct phonethdr {
+    uint8_t  pn_media;  /* Media type (link-layer identifier) */
+    uint8_t  pn_rdev;   /* Receiver device ID */
+    uint8_t  pn_sdev;   /* Sender device ID */
+    uint8_t  pn_res;    /* Resource ID or function */
+    uint16_t pn_length; /* Big-endian message byte length (minus 6) */
+    uint8_t  pn_robj;   /* Receiver object ID */
+    uint8_t  pn_sobj;   /* Sender object ID */
+  };
+
+On Linux, the link-layer header includes the pn_media byte (see below).
+The next 7 bytes are part of the network-layer header.
+
+The device ID is split: the 6 higher-order bits consitute the device
+address, while the 2 lower-order bits are used for multiplexing, as are
+the 8-bit object identifiers. As such, Phonet can be considered as a
+network layer with 6 bits of address space and 10 bits for transport
+protocol (much like port numbers in IP world).
+
+The modem always has address number zero. All other device have a their
+own 6-bit address.
+
+
+Link layer
+----------
+
+Phonet links are always point-to-point links. The link layer header
+consists of a single Phonet media type byte. It uniquely identifies the
+link through which the packet is transmitted, from the modem's
+perspective. Each Phonet network device shall prepend and set the media
+type byte as appropriate. For convenience, a common phonet_header_ops
+link-layer header operations structure is provided. It sets the
+media type according to the network device hardware address.
+
+Linux Phonet network interfaces support a dedicated link layer packets
+type (ETH_P_PHONET) which is out of the Ethernet type range. They can
+only send and receive Phonet packets.
+
+The virtual TUN tunnel device driver can also be used for Phonet. This
+requires IFF_TUN mode, _without_ the IFF_NO_PI flag. In this case,
+there is no link-layer header, so there is no Phonet media type byte.
+
+Note that Phonet interfaces are not allowed to re-order packets, so
+only the (default) Linux FIFO qdisc should be used with them.
+
+
+Network layer
+-------------
+
+The Phonet socket address family maps the Phonet packet header:
+
+  struct sockaddr_pn {
+    sa_family_t spn_family;    /* AF_PHONET */
+    uint8_t     spn_obj;       /* Object ID */
+    uint8_t     spn_dev;       /* Device ID */
+    uint8_t     spn_resource;  /* Resource or function */
+    uint8_t     spn_zero[...]; /* Padding */
+  };
+
+The resource field is only used when sending and receiving;
+It is ignored by bind() and getsockname().
+
+
+Low-level datagram protocol
+---------------------------
+
+Applications can send Phonet messages using the Phonet datagram socket
+protocol from the PF_PHONET family. Each socket is bound to one of the
+2^10 object IDs available, and can send and receive packets with any
+other peer.
+
+  struct sockaddr_pn addr = { .spn_family = AF_PHONET, };
+  ssize_t len;
+  socklen_t addrlen = sizeof(addr);
+  int fd;
+
+  fd = socket(PF_PHONET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
+  bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr));
+  /* ... */
+
+  sendto(fd, msg, msglen, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr));
+  len = recvfrom(fd, buf, sizeof(buf), 0,
+                 (struct sockaddr *)&addr, &addrlen);
+
+This protocol follows the SOCK_DGRAM connection-less semantics.
+However, connect() and getpeername() are not supported, as they did
+not seem useful with Phonet usages (could be added easily).
+
+
+Phonet Pipe protocol
+--------------------
+
+The Phonet Pipe protocol is a simple sequenced packets protocol
+with end-to-end congestion control. It uses the passive listening
+socket paradigm. The listening socket is bound to an unique free object
+ID. Each listening socket can handle up to 255 simultaneous
+connections, one per accept()'d socket.
+
+  int lfd, cfd;
+
+  lfd = socket(PF_PHONET, SOCK_SEQPACKET, PN_PROTO_PIPE);
+  listen (lfd, INT_MAX);
+
+  /* ... */
+  cfd = accept(lfd, NULL, NULL);
+  for (;;)
+  {
+    char buf[...];
+    ssize_t len = read(cfd, buf, sizeof(buf));
+
+    /* ... */
+
+    write(cfd, msg, msglen);
+  }
+
+Connections are established between two endpoints by a "third party"
+application. This means that both endpoints are passive; so connect()
+is not possible.
+
+WARNING:
+When polling a connected pipe socket for writability, there is an
+intrinsic race condition whereby writability might be lost between the
+polling and the writing system calls. In this case, the socket will
+block until write because possible again, unless non-blocking mode
+becomes enabled.
+
+
+The pipe protocol provides two socket options at the SOL_PNPIPE level:
+
+  PNPIPE_ENCAP accepts one integer value (int) of:
+
+    PNPIPE_ENCAP_NONE: The socket operates normally (default).
+
+    PNPIPE_ENCAP_IP: The socket is used as a backend for a virtual IP
+      interface. This requires CAP_NET_ADMIN capability. GPRS data
+      support on Nokia modems can use this. Note that the socket cannot
+      be reliably poll()'d or read() from while in this mode.
+
+  PNPIPE_IFINDEX is a read-only integer value. It contains the
+    interface index of the network interface created by PNPIPE_ENCAP,
+    or zero if encapsulation is off.
