The remote processor messaging (rpmsg) subsystem provides an interface
to communicate with other remote processors. On many Qualcomm SoCs this
is used to communicate with an integrated modem DSP that implements most
of the modem functionality and provides high-level protocols like
QMI or AT to allow controlling the modem.
For QMI, most older Qualcomm SoCs (e.g. MSM8916/MSM8974) have
a standalone "DATA5_CNTL" channel that allows exchanging QMI messages.
Note that newer SoCs (e.g. SDM845) only allow exchanging QMI messages
via a shared QRTR channel that is available via a socket API on Linux.
For AT, the "DATA4" channel accepts at least a limited set of AT
commands, on many older and newer Qualcomm SoCs, although QMI is
typically the preferred control protocol.
Often there are additional QMI/AT channels (usually named DATA*_CNTL
for QMI and DATA* for AT), but it is not clear if those are really
functional on all devices. Also, at the moment there is no use case
for having multiple QMI/AT ports. If needed more channels could be
added later after more testing.
Note that the data path (network interface) is entirely separate
from the control path and varies between Qualcomm SoCs, e.g. "IPA"
on newer Qualcomm SoCs or "BAM-DMUX" on some older ones.
The RPMSG WWAN CTRL driver exposes the QMI/AT control ports via the
WWAN subsystem, and therefore allows userspace like ModemManager to
set up the modem. Until now, ModemManager had to use the RPMSG-specific
rpmsg-char where the channels must be explicitly exposed as a char
device first and don't show up directly in sysfs.
The driver is a fairly simple glue layer between WWAN and RPMSG
and is mostly based on the existing mhi_wwan_ctrl.c and rpmsg_char.c.
