Public bug reported:
== SRU Justification ==
The CONFIG_WWAN config is set to 'Y' for the generic and most derivative
kernels. This is affecting custom driver development for some partners.
Change this config to be a loadable module and include it in linux-
modules-*.
Make this change to -generic kernels, so all derivatives will inherit
it.
== Fix ==
UBUNTU: [Packaging] Make WWAN driver loadable modules
== Regression Potential ==
Medium. This change is only to WWAN, and is changing it to a loadable module
and not removing it.
== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by a partner. It was also
compile and boot tested internally. Testing will also be performed on a WWAN
device.
