Many people do think that the hardware knowledge is only in the kernel.
This is to prevent confusion.

Hardware abstraction layers provide a generic
interface for the framework to use.
The framework itself provides an interface for
applications that is independent of the device and the hardware.
That way, applications can access hardware
features through the generic framework interface, which will call the hardware
abstraction layer libraries, ending up with the kernel communicating with the
hardware.
+ For instance, when placing a call, the dialer
application will communicate with the framework, which in turn will communicate
with the hardware abstraction layer.
+ That hardware abstraction layer will implement
the protocol to communicate with the modem. The Linux kernel will then forward
the communication between the hardware abstraction layer and the modem CPU.

Many other components of a mobile device also
run software in different forms.
