Still having trouble seeing your concerns.  oFono core transitions the modem 
to the pre_sim state.  If a modem requires special steps to be taken to be in 
sync with the core, then the driver has to take care of it.

And we rely on the modem to activate rx/tx in the case of an emergency call? 
How does this work with Flight mode?
