Hi,
Are you planing to add this revert commit to your coming patch?
Actually it's urgent to revert this change since the release deadline of v6.19 is coming soon
and all my MHI WWAN device have been impacted.
I don't know why this commit has been tagged as "Not Applicable" and who did this.

I hope we can fix it regression before the official v6.19 release.

Thanks
