I plugged in a mpcie  usb modem.
In my test case it was a EC25 from Quectel in mpcie2 port.
After that I did a reboot and exported the gpio via "/sys/class/gpio"
Then I executed the command "echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/<name>/value" and 
"echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/<name>/value".
Then I have seen the log message in the kernel that the device did an 
unregistration/registration
.
