Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Adding new drivers for Qualcomm MSM based LTE modems

This can probably support many more devices based on modern Qualcomm
chipsets, but has only been tested with a Huawei E392 LTE modem based
on Qualcomm MDM9200.

These chips require using the QMI protocol to enable anything but
serial mode.  They can, and should, still be configured using 
AT commands on one of the serial interfaces.  In particular, this
driver does not support entering SIM PIN code or APN, which may be
required before opening a connection. PIN can be set by using the
standard AT+CPIN="xxxx" command.  APN can most likely be set by
storing it in the default profile.

patch 1 relaxes the cdc_ether CDC descriptor parsing in such a way
that it will allow a vendor specific data interface if and only if
the control interface also is vendor specific.  This allows us to
reuse the bind() function from cdc_ether for one of the possible
device configurations we support

patch 2 adds a new "subdriver" which exports the CDC encapsulated 
command interface as a character device, and also to the calling
driver.

patch 3 adds the wwan driver, which uses the "subdriver" to configure
the device via the Qualcomm MSM Interface (QMI) protocol encapsulated
in CDC control commands. The actual network device is a minimalistic
usbnet minidriver.

Bjørn Mork (3):
  cdc_ether: allow vendor specific data interface if control interface
    is vendor specific
  net: usb: cdc_enc: New driver exposing USB CDC encapsulated protocols
  net: usb: qmi_wwan: New driver for QMI WAN devices
