Ok. For clarity, my understanding of these patches are that they do the following things:
1) Add a feature to ModemManager to support uploading firmware to these modems
2) Increase a timeout that was found to be insufficient when doing a firmware update
3) Add a bunch of mappings from SIM->Carrier
And then in response to potential concerns:
(1) is a straight feature addition, and the associated code will only be called if an external component connects to modemmanager requesting a firmware upload. This is not expected to change any existing behaviours.
(2) is low-risk
It's not clear to me whether (3) is expected to change existing behaviours at all.
Is this understanding correct?
Assuming (3) is not expected to change existing behaviour this looks like it would be acceptable under the hardware-enablement SRU policy.
