Yes, this is a totally vanilla setup except that for modern hardware the
baseband is connected digitally also.

The obvious starting point would seem to be to provide a driver which
allows userspace to tell the kernel about configuration changes - that's
what we're doing at the minute for the trivial case where the hardware
doesn't change configuration.  We could then look at pushing more of the
code into the kernel if that made sense.
