PS18, Line 7: bts: add IMMEDIATE ASSIGNMENT via PCH transmission
The commit message contains nothing about bumping the PCUIF version.
Such changes should definitely be reflected in the commit log, IMO.

PS18, Line 43: PCU_IF_SAPI_PCH_DT
Didn't we agree that in the new PCUIF version there will be only one way to 
send DL blocks over PCH and the message will always contain TLLI now. I 
remember Pau complaining that having several ways to do the same thing is a 
mess. My understanding is that there should be only `PCU_IF_SAPI_PCH` in the 
new version and it shall always contain a TLLI.

Ah, now I see comments from Pau and your response about backwards compatibility.

Yes, this is expected and desired when you bump the PCUIF version.

It was discussed *before* we came to a conclusion that bumping the PCUIF 
version is needed after all. The point was to prevent the user from running an 
old version of osmo-pcu, which does not support and ignores the new E1 
configuration messages.

> ... lets not get blocked by the BTS part and keep compatibility for now

Ok, now I see the reason why you're keeping the old messages and backwards 
compatibility (nothing in the commit message explains that). But what would it 
take to get this implemented in osmo-bts? I can quickly help you with that, so 
we just bump the PCUIF version and be done with it. I think 1h would be enough 
for me to implement this on the BTS side.
