Hi Jiri,

T7XX is MTK WWAN device platform, ADB and MIPC channel is common in all MTK
platform, the ports used to debug, and we need a way to create the channels
to usespace, so use the sysfs to trigger that.

The previous plan consider using devlink framework to set param to create 
ports inside t7xx driver, but later after communicating with Loic and Jiri
, it was replaced with the current plan.
