Port-proxy provides a common interface to interact with different types
of ports. Ports export their configuration via `struct t7xx_port` and
operate as defined by `struct port_ops`.

Why did you need these two fields with the port name and minor number?
The WWAN subsystem will care about these data for you. It is its
purpose.

This port proxy structure can abstract different types of ports. 'minor' field is used for

tty and char ports but it will be removed since the next iteration will contain only

WWAN ports and one control port.

'name' is currently used when printing error logs,  in the future it can be used

to define the name in the file system for test and debug ports.

For what do you need these character devices? The WWAN subsystem
already handle all these tasks.
This infrastructure is not going to be included in the next iteration, it is used for debug and test ports.
