This driver is intended for NovaThor SoC and for a configuration with
LLI as the shared memory interface between the host and modem.
When using LLI as the shared memory interface the modem could be used
with any platform/architecture with little endian byte sex and a LLI
interface. So I guess this driver belongs in the former group you
mention, and should probably not be dependent on ARM only.

Thanks,
