+====================================================
+TMI driver for MTK PCIe based T-series 5G Modem
+====================================================
+The TMI(T-series Modem Interface) driver is a WWAN PCIe host driver developed
+for data exchange over PCIe interface between Host platform and MediaTek's
+T-series 5G modem. The driver exposes control plane and data plane interfaces
+to applications. The control plane provides device node interfaces for control
+data transactions. The data plane provides network link interfaces for IP data
+transactions.
+
+Control channel userspace ABI
+=============================
+/dev/wwan0at0 character device
+------------------------------
+The driver exposes an AT port by implementing AT WWAN Port.
+The userspace end of the control channel pipe is a /dev/wwan0at0 character
+device. Application shall use this interface to issue AT commands.
+
+/dev/wwan0mbim0 character device
+--------------------------------
+The driver exposes an MBIM interface to the MBIM function by implementing
+MBIM WWAN Port. The userspace end of the control channel pipe is a
+/dev/wwan0mbim0 character device. Applications shall use this interface
+for MBIM protocol communication.
+
+Data channel userspace ABI
+==========================
+wwan0-X network device
+----------------------
+The TMI driver exposes IP link interfaces "wwan0-X" of type "wwan" for IP
+traffic. Iproute network utility is used for creating "wwan0-X" network
+interfaces and for associating it with the MBIM IP session.
+
+The userspace management application is responsible for creating a new IP link
+prior to establishing an MBIM IP session where the SessionId is greater than 0.
+
+For example, creating a new IP link for an MBIM IP session with SessionId 1:
+
+  ip link add dev wwan0-1 parentdev wwan0 type wwan linkid 1
+
+The driver will automatically map the "wwan0-1" network device to MBIM IP
+session 1.
