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.
