This patch enables Intel M.2 7360 WWAN card support on
IOSM Driver.
Control path implementation is a reuse whereas data path
implementation it uses a different protocol called as MUX
Aggregation. The major portion of this patch covers the MUX
Aggregation protocol implementation used for IP traffic
communication.
For M.2 7360 WWAN card, driver exposes 2 wwan AT ports for
control communication. The user space application or the
modem manager to use wwan AT port for data path establishment.
During probe, driver reads the mux protocol device capability
register to know the mux protocol version supported by device.
Base on which the right mux protocol is initialized for data
path communication.
An overview of an Aggregation Protocol
1> An IP packet is encapsulated with 16 octet padding header
to form a Datagram & the start offset of the Datagram is
indexed into Datagram Header (DH).
2> Multiple such Datagrams are composed & the start offset of
each DH is indexed into Datagram Table Header (DTH).
3> The Datagram Table (DT) is IP session specific & table_length
item in DTH holds the number of composed datagram pertaining
to that particular IP session.
4> And finally the offset of first DTH is indexed into DBH (Datagram
Block Header).
So in TX/RX flow Datagram Block (Datagram Block Header + Payload)is
exchanged between driver & device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
