My question from the Nov 2018 IPA rmnet driver still stands; how does
this relate to net/ethernet/qualcomm/rmnet/ if at all? And if this is
really just a netdev talking to the IPA itself and unrelated to
net/ethernet/qualcomm/rmnet, let's call it "ipa%d" and stop cargo-
culting rmnet around just because it happens to be a net driver for a
QC SoC.
Is the firmware that the driver loads already in linux-firmware or
going to be there soon?
How does the driver support multiple PDNs (eg PDP or EPS contexts) that
are enabled through the control plane via QMI messages? I couldn't
quite find that out.
Thanks,
Dan
