The changes itself look good to me, but the commit message is really
misleading. It does not mention anywhere that the change actually just
enables "modem" on apq8016-sbc instead of "msm8916". :)

Also, WCNSS was actually enabled before already (with the default
firmware path). In my opinion, it would be clearer to change the
firmware-name for it in an extra patch.

How do I get a .mbn from the wcnss.{mdt,.b??} files provided in the
DB410c firmware package? I guess I should just run them through
https://github.com/andersson/pil-squasher?

Also, is the single file format (mbn) preferred now? Not sure if there
is any significant difference except having less files laying around.

Thanks,
Stephan
