Subject: [PATCH 2/4] Phonet: advise against enabling the pipe controller

From: Rémi Denis-Courmont <remi.denis-courmont@...ia.com>

As it currently is, the new code path is not compatible with existing
Nokia modems. This would break existing userspace for Nokia modem, such
as the existing oFono ISI driver.
