As per the channel configuration defined in the code TCH/F_PDCH is a valid channel configuration and it should work as TCH/F or PDCH channel dynamically.
I tested even with TCH/F_TCH/H_PDCH and it works fine only as TCH/H or PDCH it does not get used as TCH/F.

By PS call I mean GPRS data transfer and yes GPRS is functional.

I have tested TCH/F_TCH/H_PDCH also and it works fine as TCH/H channel. As per the name of the pchan type it can be used as TCH/F or TCH/H or PDCH 
But it does not work as TCH/F. 
Also as I mentioned earlier in TCH/F_PDCH pchan type CS (voice) call does not work.

Currently I am busy in other activities. I will bisect and capture the logs once I have some time . Could you please suggest any specific  Unit test case which can be 
executed to compare result.
