I do not _think_ creating the CCCI header in the WWAN or CTRL port
functions is any good idea. In case of stacked protocols, each layer
should create its own header, pass the packet down the stack, and then
a next layer will create a next header.
In case of the CTRL port, this means that the control port code should
take an opaque data block from an upper layer (e.g. features request),
prepend it with a control msg header, and pass it down the stack to
the port proxy layer, where the CCCI header will be prepended.
In case a WWAN port, all headers are passed from user space, so there
шы nothing to prepend. And the only remaining function is to fragment
a user input, and then pass all the fragments to the port proxy
layer, where the CCCI header will be prepended.
This way, you do not overload the CTRL/WWAN port with code of other
protocols (i.e. CCCI), reduce code duplication. Which in itself
improves the code maintainability and future development. Creating a
CCCI header at the WWAN port layer is like forcing a user to manually
create IP and UDP headers before writing a data block into a network
socket :)
Anyway, it is up to you to decide exactly how to create headers and
assign sequence numbers. I just wanted to point out the code
inconsistency. It does not make the code wrong, it just makes the code
look stranger.

Does this mean the firmware upgrade does not utilize the channel id,
and just pushes data directly to a specific CLDMA queue? In that case
it looks like the firmware upgrade code needs to entirely bypass the
port proxy layer and communicate directly with CLDMA. Isn't it?
