Well, yes and no. On MHI controller side point-of-view, the driver is
quite complete, since its only goal is to implement the MHI transport
layer and to register the available channels. The PCI driver is really
no expected to do more (contrary to ath11k), everything else will be
implemented by MHI device drivers at upper level. I agree most of them
are not yet implemented (only qrtr-mhi for IPCR channel), but I'm
currently working on this.
