Then I didn't look far back enough (or I'm simply blind). But I still
prefer this to be inside the driver or HACKING.calypso for easier access.
I am with you that this needs to be documented better than GIT commit
logs.
However I do prefer doc/calypso-modem.txt and doc/ifx-modem.txt though
since I don't wanna clutter the root directory.
