In that case we would still want to use functionality from stkutil.c to do the actual
re-encoding. So in my mind it is a trade-off between forking stkutil.c for one or more
modem-plugins or exporting stkutil.h Given that the type definitions in stkutil.h are a
relative straightforward mapping of TS 102.223 and friends, it may not qualify as a
"minimal" API but it will be a rather stable API. So I would like to ask to
reconsider exposing the type definitions as part of the official oFono modem API.
what is the big deal with just using the PDU interface of the IFX
firmware? Why go through all this trouble if your target modem actually
does support PDU mode?
