Hi Sjur,
This patch-set introduces the CAIF protocol Stack. The "Communication CPU to Application CPU Interface" (CAIF) is a packet based connection-oriented MUX protocol developed by ST-Ericsson for use with its modems. * CAIF provides a socket interface which can be used to open virtual AT channels, create and configure GPRS Data connections. * A CAIF Network device is also provided for GPRS access. This interface can be managed with socket IOCTLs or RTNL. * A kernel interface is provided allowing Kernel modules to use CAIF. * A serial link layer layer implemented as a line discipline is currently implemented. Other link interfaces may be contributed at a later stage.
any details on potential USB, SPI or SDIO drivers? Regards Marcel
