I haven't experimented with this yet, but I wonder if adding an entry to the device tree would allow the proper driver to be loaded from a module once this device tree is accepted into upstream. I have reached out to the original device tree author (who also contributed the motorcomm driver) to get their thoughts on this. If the device tree entry will work, then it means the motorcomm driver could be built as a module instead.

Wow. Big thanks to you for looking at this so closely!

Just one question there. The model I linked to is the A model (Quartz64-A) [1][2]. Not sure
if looking at the device tree for B is equivalent or not.
