Hi!
Now without the chardev support, the /dev/gsmtty* using apps need
to use "U1234AT+CFUN?" format for the packets. The advantage is
less kernel code, and we keep the existing /dev/gsmtty* interface.
If we still really need the custom chardev support, that can now
be added as needed with the channel specific consumer driver(s).
My guess is that at least with the pending ofono patches, we just
want to use the raw interface for /dev/gsmtty* interface and stop
pretending we have a modem that is AT compatible.
