In 5.4 Focal CONFIG_QRTR depends on ARCH_QCOM, which is a platform
config that enables ARMv8 based Qualcomm chipsets, so it can not be
enabled on amd64. Also CONFIG_QRTR_MHI is not present in 5.4, which
means that the implementation is incomplete with respect to what
modemmanager is expecting.

In later releases like Jammy, CONFIG_QRTR has no dependency on ARCH_QCOM
and therefore is enabled on amd64. All QRTR modules are also there.

Enabling QRTR in 5.4 kernel would require backporting patches to remove its 
dependence on ARCH_QCOM and to add MHI module.
It is suggested to check modulemanager implementation whether hard requirement 
on QRTR modules can be skipped on amd64.

Title:
  Please add support for Qualcomm IPC Router in 5.4 focal kernel

Status in OEM Priority Project:
  New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The modemmanager debian package in focal was recently upgraded to 1.18
  (the jammy version was backported - see LP: #1965901). This version
  has broken some Qualcomm modems as it start to require the Qualcomm
  IPC Router for them, which drivers are not enabled in Ubuntu kernel
  5.4. To fix this we need these options enabled in the focal kernel:

  CONFIG_QRTR=m
  CONFIG_QRTR_SMD=m
  CONFIG_QRTR_TUN=m
  CONFIG_QRTR_MHI=m

  The options are already enabled in more modern Ubuntu kernel, i.e.
  5.17.
