Generally drivers/ directory contains atom drivers.  e.g. 
radio_settings, gprs, netreg, etc.  plugins/ contains modem drivers. 
There are a few additional special cases, but that is essentially the

In this case it would be better to write a new atom driver. e.g. 
drivers/telitmodem/radio-settings.c.

What methods do you need exactly?
