I spent some more time yesterday reading through the references
provided by Bjørn, as well as doing some more searching. The devices
exported by interface 8 and 10 offers the same functionality, and
interface 8 seems to work for all MC73xx-devices (there is no
reference of anyone not getting a connection through it). Interface
10, on the other hand, only seems to work on some MC73xx-devices. I
see no point in carrying around a reference in the driver to an
interface that might work in some cases, when there is one that always
works. However, there might be a modem or a particular firmware
revision I am not aware of. Bjørn/Aleksander knows more about
available QMI-devices than me, so I think they should decide.
