Which would be a nice project for someone with lots of time :-)

Anyway, I don't think the qmi_wwan driver is very useful on typical
mobile phone hardware, where the modem interface is some internal "bus"
(or shared memory) and not USB.  The qmi_wwan driver is tightly coupled
to USB.  It will be much easier to reimplement the functionality in a
new driver for a shared memory modem than adapting qmi_wwan to this kind
of hardware.

But a RIL supporting qmi_wwan could be useful for devices with no
builtin modem, like wlan-only tablets.  If you want such a device to
work as a phone using an external USB modem.

And an open source RIL would be nice to have in general.
