+Phonet Pipe-controller Implementation
+-------------------------------------
+
+Phonet Pipe-controller is enabled by selecting the CONFIG_PHONET_PIPECTRLR Kconfig
+option. It is useful when communicating with those Nokia Modems which do not
+implement Pipe controller in them e.g. Nokia Slim Modem used in ST-Ericsson
+U8500 platform.
+
+The implementation is based on the Data Connection Establishment Sequence
+depicted in 'Nokia Wireless Modem API - Wireless_modem_user_guide.pdf'
+document.
+
+It allows a phonet sequenced socket (host-pep) to initiate a Pipe connection
+between itself and a remote pipe-end point (e.g. modem).
+
+The implementation adds socket options at SOL_PNPIPE level:
+
+ PNPIPE_PIPE_HANDLE
+ It accepts an integer argument for setting value of pipe handle.
+
+ PNPIPE_ENABLE accepts one integer value (int). If set to zero, the pipe
+ is disabled. If the value is non-zero, the pipe is enabled. If the pipe
+ is not (yet) connected, ENOTCONN is error is returned.
+
+The implementation also adds socket 'connect'. On calling the 'connect', pipe
+will be created between the source socket and the destination, and the pipe
+state will be set to PIPE_DISABLED.
+
+After a pipe has been created and enabled successfully, the Pipe data can be
+exchanged between the host-pep and remote-pep (modem).
+
+User-space would typically follow below sequence with Pipe controller:-
+-socket
+-bind
+-setsockopt for PNPIPE_PIPE_HANDLE
+-connect
+-setsockopt for PNPIPE_ENCAP_IP
+-setsockopt for PNPIPE_ENABLE
