Not really; that's really a hardware question and not a software one. There are hardware devices that can go with any platform/architecture, e.g., WLAN chips. OTOH, there are a lot of hardware devices that are coupled with certain SoC, e.g. OMAP's remote processors. What I'm trying to understand is whether the STE modem device belongs to the former or latter group. It sounds like a modem belongs to the former group, but if it does belong to the latter, then the building of its driver should be possible only on the relevant platforms/architectures.
