Some of them I know, some others are new to me (usb cable state).

I think those should be implemented

different, as in different devices, yes.  Different AT command set
between those devices?  That's the first time I hear about this.

Also, I still have the goal to have one unified GSM multiplexer driver
in the kernel, supporting the various dialects (07.10 basic/advanced,
motorolas strange version of it, etc.) and the various physical
interfaces (real serial port, motorolas usb interface, ...).  However,
that will probably hve to wait for quite some time...

I think much of this would actually be implemented in a client process
to gsmd.  You can use the passthrough mechanism to do things that are
completely unrelated to a normal gsm mode, such as obtaining the
bluatooth address, set clock/timer/...
