    tty: n_gsm: Add raw-ip support · bcd5abe2

    This patch adds the ability to open a network data connection over a mux
    virtual tty channel. This is for modems that support data connections
    with raw IP frames instead of PPP. On high speed data connections this
    eliminates a significant amount of PPP overhead. To use this interface,
    the application must first tell the modem to open a network connection on
    a virtual tty. Once that has been accomplished, the app will issue an
    IOCTL on that virtual tty to create the network interface. The IOCTL will
    return the index of the interface created.
    
    The two IOCTL commands are:
    
        ioctl( fd, GSMIOC_ENABLE_NET );
    
        ioctl( fd, GSMIOC_DISABLE_NET );
