Thanks for your feedback. My reasoning was the same. For one or two
devices, the current approach is (probably) ok. Any more, and a
different approach is needed.

Looking through the documentation I have, it seems like most
Quectel-modems support the command used to change the
USB-configuration. Thus, I wouldn’t be surprised if all or most
existing Quectel-devices should have this quirk applied. I have a
couple of older modules, so I will look at how they behave with
different configurations. I will then either add the quirk soon or
when for example EM20 is available (unless someone else does it
earlier :)).

BR,
Kristian
