Subject: [PATCH 4/4] usbnet: ipheth: update Kconfig description
This module has for a long time not been limited to iPhone <= 3GS.
Update description to match the actual state of the driver.
Remove dead link from 2010, instead reference an existing userspace
iOS device pairing implementation as part of libimobiledevice.
