Yes, it has some specific commands for power control and a few other
functions.  While it is not extremely different than option, the Sierra
driver is currently meant to drive Sierra devices.

temp sha, what is the problem with using the Huawei device with the
option driver?  Is there a bug that prevents the device from working
there?  Every other non-Gobi/non-MBIM Huawei device is currently driven
by 'option' and I think yours should also be the same.
