The point is that when you enable/disable GPRS services on a cell, you
want to modify the one (intuitive) 'gprs mode' statment in your config,
and not have to remember that you also need to change the configuration
of every timeslot on that BTS.
I think particularly in testing scenarios (BTS used as tester for
modems/m2m devices) or in research or education type applications this
is a very frequent use case.
What if you
have a openbsc.cfg with a bts that has 'gprs mode none' but
still has a timeslot in GSM_PCHAN_TCH_F_PDCH mode? The intended
operation in that case is that it will be treated as a pure TCH/F, and
no attempts to switch to PDCH are made.
Indeed, we would switch to PDCH anyway. Aside from it being meaningless
to have GSM_PCHAN_TCH_F_PDCH time slots with 'gprs mode none', I agree
that we shouldn't send PDCH ACT in that case. It's easy to work around: just configure TS as
GSM_PCHAN_TCH_F. So I'm not
putting this high up on the todo list.

Given that it should be super simple to fix (like a handful of if
statements?), I'd rather do it soon than forget about the ticekt...
