My experience with taking over maintainance of the Nokia Phonet stack is that 
there is no such documentation.

http://vger.kernel.org/~davem/ contains some basic infos, especially useful 
w.r.t. network buffer management. Other I stick to the Linux Cross Reference 
at http://lxr.linux.no/ and read the source code. Some of the simpler network 
layers (_not_ IPv4 neither IPv6) can be useful as a basic reference (I read 
through CAN quite a abut).

Hope this helps,
