Looks like my vendor's firmware is a bit behind upstream. Thanks for bearing
with me.

On another note, what would your opinions be on exposing the RPC interface
to userspace? My understanding is that the 7360 does not have an MBIM
interface, so configuration via RPC is required to bring up the modem.

Is an MBIM interface added in a later firmware version? Are there problems
with this approach?

It seems to me that this would be the last step in making the 7360 usable.

I'm imagining something along the lines of adding a WWAN_PORT_RPC to
wwan_core.c and updating iosm_ipc_chnl_cfg.c

Such an interface should be able to work with the existing xmm7360-pci
tool.
