OK so no response from the modem. After few of the above
packets, you should then also see something coming back:

gsm_data_kick: 00000000: 7e 01 ef c3 aa 7e
gsmld_output: 00000000: 7e 01 ef c3 aa 7e
gsmld_output: 00000000: f9 03 3f 01 1c f9
--> 0) C: SABM(P)
gsmld_output: 00000000: f9 03 3f 01 1c f9
--> 0) C: SABM(P)
gsmld_receive: 00000000: f9 03 1f 01 36 f9
<-- 0) C: DM(P)
gsmld_output: 00000000: f9 03 3f 01 1c f9
--> 0) C: SABM(P)
gsmld_receive: 00000000: f9 03 1f 01 36 f9
<-- 0) C: DM(P)
DLCI 0 opening in ADM mode.

Do you have phy-mapphone-mdm6600 loaded? That is still needed to
configure all the boot mode pins for the modem so it is usable..
The UART will then work also without ohci-platform, just the
USB PHY is disabled without ohci-platform.

I have these in my .config:
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_OMAP=y
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_OMAP_TTYO_FIXUP=y
CONFIG_PHY_MAPPHONE_MDM6600=m
CONFIG_N_GSM=m

And then the two patches from $subject thread. I just tried
it with today's mainline kernel and it's still working for
me.

Maybe you're missing some related patch though if usingv4.16?

984c7706ff18 ("ARM: dts: omap4-droid4: Configure uart1 pins")
e5b9fd7bdeb5 ("ARM: dts: omap4-droid4: Configure MDM6600 USB PHY")
fdd192037fce ("ARM: dts: omap4-droid4: Fix USB PHY port naming")
bca809d8183c ("ARM: omap2plus_defconfig: Enable MDM6600 USB PHY")
077e1cde78c3 ("ARM: omap2plus_defconfig: Enable 8250_OMAP"

So maybe you're still using CONFIG_SERIAL_OMAP=y instead of
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_OMAP=y?
