The 64 KiB flash sector at 0x027F0000 (the last sector of the 2nd flash bank)
contains per-unit factory data, including the IMEI and RF calibration values.
The location of the IMEI record (at offset 0x504) was found back in 2013-07 and
its encryption was figured out in 2013-11, but it took a bit longer to find the
RF calibration data.  But I finally found most of the latter as well.  Here
they are:

Each calibration record is followed by a checksum byte.  It is a simple ripple-
carry sum of all bytes in the preceding record.  Note that this checksum byte
is always 0 for the ramps records, as each correctly-formed ramp adds up to 128
(0x80), and the array has an even number of ramps in total.

Unfortunately though, I have not been able to locate these two records:

/gsm/rf/afcdac
/gsm/rf/afcparams

These two files appear in Openmoko's FFS on GTA02 modems, and the byte content
differs for each physical unit, so I assume that these values really do need to
be calibrated per unit, but I haven't been able to locate them in Pirelli's
factory data block.  /gsm/rf/afcdac is only 2 bytes long, thus very hard to
spot visually in a hex dump of an unknown larger data structure;
/gsm/rf/afcparams is 24 bytes long and has some structure to it, so I was
hoping to recognize the latter, but no luck.

We will have to try running uncalibrated, or perhaps we'll find the code in
Pirelli's fw that fills the parts of the T_RF structure that are normally read
from these files.
