This patchset doesn't provide any new drivers. It just means that people can make use of the generic parts of the option code without then also having to use the option-specific code. If devices don't respond to the option-specific commands in the driver, then really they shouldn't be in option.
Well, there was not much of an alternative for users recently, or am I wrong there? And "option" announces itself in the kernel configuration as "USB driver for GSM and CDMA modems".
Anyway, if I now understand the purpose of the patch right, it would be the cleanest approach to have a new generic WWAN driver using "usb_wwan.c" and move from "option" all non-Option modems (not having special needs or capabilities) there.
Something like "wwan" or "wwan_generic". BTW, I just counted the product IDs in "option" ...
