Its a problem in ofono where still creates a modem instance (exposed as /ril_0) without any interfaces registered when the connection to the ril-daemon fails. IMHO ofono should not create the modem instance as long as it can't connect to rild. We agreed on keeping ofono running even on devices which doesn't have a modem.

In a related bug #1544712 ofono must still be present on such devices, in order for location to work. It seems that when it was tested, the landing for bug #1541588 happened when ofono was not running. I conclude therefore that the decision to display/not display cellular is keyed merely on the presence of ofono, rather than, say the count of modems ofono reports.
