Sounds good to me, if this can be done within the userspace API
restrictions we've been through.

I assume it's possible to make this Just Work(tm) in qmi_wwan
passthrough mode?  I do not think we want any solution where the user
will have to configure both qmi_wwan and rmnet to make things work
properly.
