(removing Siddartha and Sujeev due to addresses not working)

A possible scenario for a Telit modem not being able to go to mission
mode is when a firmware update does not work properly: in this case it
remains stuck in SBL, but the SAHARA device can be used for retrying
the firmware update.

Telit FN990 supports the SAHARA channels in pci_generic. It's true
that there's still missing the exposed device for userspace, something
that we are currently managing with out of tree patches, but I see
that there's some ongoing effort for that
https://lore.kernel.org/mhi/20230522190459.13790-1-quic_jhugo@xxxxxxxxxxx/

I'm not sure if non-Telit modems have other reasonable use-cases.

Regards,
Daniele
