The MC77xx devices can operate in two modes: "Direct IP" or "QMI",
switchable using a password protected AT command. Both product ID
and USB interface configuration will change when switched.
The "sierra_net" driver supports the "Direct IP" mode. This driver
supports the "QMI" mode.
There are also multiple possible USB interface configurations in each
mode, some providing more than one wwan interface. Like many other
devices made for Windows, different interface types are identified
using a static interface number. We define a Sierra specific
interface whitelist to support this.

ZTE have yet to discover the magic of USB descriptors. These
devices use ff/ff/ff for class/subclass/protocol regardless of
function, except for usb-storage. Use an interface number
whitelist to force the driver to bind only to the QMI/wwan
interface.

Adding the Pantech UML290 and all non-QDL Gobi device IDs from the
qcserial driver now that we have support for shared net/QMI USB
interfaces. Most of these are not yet tested with this driver, but
should be mostly identical to tested devices, except for device IDs.
Gobi devices provide several different interfaces (serial/net/other)
using the exact same class, subclass and protocol values. This driver
will only support the net/QMI function while there are other drivers
supporting other device functions. The net/QMI interface number may
also differ from device to device. It has been noted that all the
other interfaces have additional functional descriptors, so we use that
to detect the interface supported by this driver.

Use the new cdc-wdm subdriver interface to create a device management
device even for USB devices having a single combined QMI/wwan USB
interface with three endpoints (int, bulk in, bulk out) instead of
separate data and control interfaces.
Some Huawei devices can be switched to a single interface mode for
use with other operating systems than Linux. This adds support
for these devices when they run in such non-Linux modes.

Some WWAN LTE/3G devices based on chipsets from Qualcomm provide
near standard CDC ECM interfaces in addition to the usual serial
interfaces. The Huawei E392/E398 are examples of such devices.
These typically cannot be fully configured using AT commands
over a serial interface. It is necessary to speak the proprietary
Qualcomm MSM Interface (QMI) protocol to the device to enable the
ethernet proxy functionality.
The devices embed the QMI protocol in CDC on the control interface,
using standard CDC commands and notifications. The do not otherwise
use CDC commands for the ethernet function. This driver does
therefore not need access to any other aspects of the control
interface than the descriptors attached to it.
Another driver, cdc-wdm, will provide userspace access to the
QMI protocol independently of this driver. To facilitate this,
this driver avoids binding to the control interface, and uses
only the associated data interface after parsing the common CDC
functional descriptors on the control interface.
You will want both the cdc-wdm and option drivers as companions to
this driver, to have full access to all interfaces and protocols
exported by the device.
