[hsflinux] HSF modem driver corrupts system

[Linuxant support (Jonathan)]

Hi,

thank you for this information. "CONFIG_PREEMPT=y" is well supported but 
it is possible that the lack of "CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y" could be 
fatal to the driver. If this something that could be improved in the future.

Regards,
