Are there free modem drivers for Snapdragon SoCs?
I'm looking for cellular modem drivers that work for Snapdragon SoCs.
The Qualcomm SoC Mainlining project only states MODEM - (not done) (but see RemoteProc)
From this it's not clear to me if there is code available somewhere, that's going to be mainlined at a later point, or not.
Actually I'm a little bit confused by the different source repositories (CodeAurora, Linaro, Sony...). Maybe there's a modem driver lying around somewhere, that I'm not able to find.
There are drivers available for Qualcomm Gobi devices. I found this whitepaper which has the following paragraph:
So are Snapdragon SoCs using the same tech as Gobi devices?
Maybe there is the possibility to use the Gobi drivers for Snapdragon SoCs, then.
I would be very glad for some clarification on all this!

Qualcomm Snapdragon processors include both the CPU and the mobile broadband telephony stack on the same chip (System-On-Chip); i.e. there isn?t a separate chip implementing the 3G/4G connectivity. In this kind of setup, the communication between the kernel and the stack is done using shared memory (SMD), instead of relying on a USB connection. This setup is left out of the scope of this document, as there is little information about how this is really managed.
