Can you add this information to the option description to make it easier 
for users to choose?

BTW, just curious, do you have any plans to add T7xx support to the TMI 
driver, or maybe merge them or factor out the common code into a common 
library? I am asking because I noticed some common code and modem 
components, but that is not addressed in the cover letter. Or is this 
feeling misleading and these two series are very different?

Thank you for the clarification.
