I dislike the use of the TTY here, because it is not even a TTY at all. It is just two bulk endpoints. It would certainly make the modem detection a lot simpler. Currently that still has to check if the TTY is in QDL mode or not. With the modem only being present when qcserial driver is used would be a lot easy to detect. My other reason to look into this was how to trigger switching the firmware from GSM to CDMA without reboot the machine or powering the card down. I am not really bound to this, but I just did play with it. From within oFono we would be even capable in running the modem via libusb, but with ModemManager you are a bit more limited and tight to a TTY.
