Subject: [PATCH 0/8] [RFC] CAIF Protocol Stack

Hello,

First of all, apologies for the size of this patch set, 
but we like to get comments and feedback from this list.

We are working on a patch set in order to introduce the CAIF protocol in Linux.
CAIF (Communication CPU to Application CPU Interface) is the primary protocol
used to communicate between to ST-Ericsson modem and the external host system. 

The host processes can use CAIF to open virtual AT channels, initiate GPRS Data
connections, Video channels and Utility Channels. The Utility Channels are 
general-purpose pipes between modem and host.

ST-Ericsson modems support a number of Link Layers between modem and host,
currently Uart and Shared Memory are available for Linux, SPI is soon to come.

Architecture:
------------
The Implementation of CAIF is divided into:
* CAIF Devices Drivers: Character Device, Net Device and Kernel API.
* CAIF Protocol Implementation
* CAIF Link Layer

In order to configure the devices a set of IOCTLs is used.



  IOCTL                                  
   !                                     
   !     +------+   +------+   +------+                 
   !    +------+!  +------+!  +------+!

   !       +----------!----------+
   !               +------+               <- CAIF Protocol Implementation
   +------->       ! CAIF !                  /dev/caifconfig
                   +------+                  
             +--------!--------+         
             !                 !

          !ShMem !          ! TTY !       <- Link Layer          
          +------+          +-----+           

Any comments welcome.
