Hey all!

This time around I thought that it would be nice to get some modem
action going on. We have it, it's working (ish), so just.. why not.

Thank you for the patches!

I would like to review these carefully but I'm sorry
I won't be able to get to it today, and possibly not
for a few days. But I *will* review them.

I just want you to know I'm paying attention, though
I'm sort of buried in an important issue right now.

I'm very impressed at how small the patches are though.

This series adds support for IPA v3.1 (featuring GSI v1.0) and also
takes account for some bits that are shared with other unimplemented
IPA v3 variants and it is specifically targeting MSM8998, for which
support is added.

Since the userspace isn't entirely ready (as far as I can see) for
data connection (3g/lte/whatever) through the modem, it was possible
to only partially test this series.
Specifically, loading the IPA firmware and setting up the interface
went just fine, along with a basic setup of the network interface
that got exposed by this driver.

With this series, the benefits that I see are:
1. The modem doesn't crash anymore when trying to setup a data
connection, as now the modem firmware seems to be happy with
having IPA initialized and ready;
2. Other random modem crashes while picking up LTE home network
signal (even just for calling, nothing fancy) seem to be gone.

These are the reasons why I think that this series is ready for
upstream action. It's *at least* stabilizing the platform when
the modem is up.

This was tested on the F(x)Tec Pro 1 (MSM8998) smartphone.
