Hi Denis,

would you please comment also on the mail series with subject:
  [RFC PATCH v6 x/1] lte: protocol and authentication for default ctx
which is the core atom for the lte series discussed here, so that I
don't resubmit the series just for spam.

Also, I would really appreciate a comment on the series:
  [RFC PATCH x/1] atmodem/lte: Gemalto vendor specific extension

and possibly the introduction of germaltomodem/voicecall. Series:
  [PATCH v3 x/2] Gemalto: support for voicecall

thank you,
Giacinto
