Naw, that would be a bit excessive. As long as we make sure that (in
the kernel) the initial states are good, there's no reason to suspect
anything will change behind our back. In fact, if it does, we probably
want to have this happen very visible ;-)

Yes, this makes sense. The current sequence looks like a problem waiting
to happen. And who knows, maybe it is happening and people just see it
as random GSM breakage ?

I think we can leave the "clean shutdown" to user space. Let the kernel
only worry about making sure it's gone (i.e., GSM_ON low and maybe also
assert reset) when user space asks for it.

Great, thanks !
