Bug Description
In bug #1541588 several items were removed from system settings for tablets which have no cellular modem.
In a related bug #1544712 ofono must still be present on such devices, in order for location to work.
It seems that when it was tested, the landing for bug #1541588 happened when ofono was not running.
I conclude therefore that the decision to display/not display cellular is keyed merely on the presence of ofono, rather than, say the count of modems ofono reports.

Note that I think the real bug here is bug #1544712 in location service, and we do plan to remove ofono on devices like these (bug #1544210)
of course, there may be other situations, and other devices, where this bug is relevant.
