I don't think those are needed, we now have kernel n_gsm driver do
most of the work for us :) Doing ldattach config is still needed,
but eventually we should have a serdev driver do that too for us.

So apps should only do the ldattach part if node yet already done,
and just attempt to use /dev/gsmtty* ports directly.

I did get serdev working with n_gsm several weeks ago with horrible
hacks, it needs quite a bit more work though before it's ready..

Then we need to add proxying of some /dev/gsmtty* ports to W3GLTE to
get that working (US only AFAIK for the band). It might make sense
to add the proxy features to ModemManager eventually.

> Do you have a tool to use and a script?

Yes I used the shell script I posted earlier, but forgot it also
needs the ldattach done.

Anyways, last night and today I wrote a quick test utility called
droid4-ngsm that initializes things and I can use to do some
experiments to get the ts27010 channel proxying to W3GLTE also
going:

Sorry could not resist adding a test call feature too :)

Hmm it might be best to add the ts27010 support and proxying
eventually to ModemManager? I think ofono and others could still
use the /dev/gsmtty* ports for the modem as needed too?
