I never worked a lot with Nokia, so you may be right.  In the 3GPP specs
(and as implemented in Siemens), the BTS initiates the data link to the BSC.

I'm not sure what you are referring to.  I have kernels up to 5.8.0 running
with DAHDI without any problems.

mostly whatever version Debian 10 (amd64) ships. I then build DAHDI for that
kernel from source.  https://github.com/osmocom/dahdi-linux has a few
fixes for recent kernel versions that upstream doesn't yet have merged to
master.  But if upstream compiles on your kernel, you don't need those patches.
