Not really, I'd expect it would be to Qualcomm's Linux Technology center
or whatever they call it.

Qualcomm *did* just release some more code that completes the driver
they previously released, but we still need to reverse-engineer some of
the rest of the QMI protocol to get things like access technology, band
preference, etc.

And the driver needs to be cleaned up for upstream.
