I don't believe that use of devlink is correct here. It seems like a
misfit. IIUC, what you need is to communicate with the modem. Basically
a communication channel to modem. The other wwan drivers implement these
channels in _ctrl.c files, using multiple protocols. Why can't you do
something similar and let devlink out of this please?

Until you put in arguments why you really need devlink and why is it a
good fit, I'm against this. Please don't send any other versions of this
patchset that use devlink.

NACK.
