Hi!

I'm against this change. It will break support for (patched) Maemo and 
proprietary Nokia sscd modem daemon.

Also you can export GPIOs manually via sysfs and touch that state. Which 
means that you can do power management with mainline kernel even if you 
set nokia-modem.pm=0. So please drop this patch.
