qmi_wwan/cdc_ether: let qmi_wwan handle the Huawei E1820

2013-06-11T09:43:22+00:00

Another QMI speaking Qualcomm based device, which should be
driven by qmi_wwan, while cdc_ether should ignore it.

Like on other Huawei devices, the wwan function can appear
either as a single vendor specific interface or as a CDC ECM
class function using separate control and data interfaces.
The ECM control interface protocol is 0xff, likely in an
attempt to indicate that vendor specific management is
required.

In addition to the near standard CDC class, Huawei also add
vendor specific AT management commands to their firmwares.
This is probably an attempt to support non-Windows systems
using standard class drivers.  Unfortunately, this part of
the firmware is often buggy.  Linux is much better off using
whatever native vendor specific management protocol the
device offers, and Windows uses, whenever possible. This
means QMI in the case of Qualcomm based devices.

The E1820 has been verified to work fine with QMI.

Matching on interface number is necessary to distiguish the
wwan function from serial functions in the single interface
mode, as both function types will have class/subclass/function
set to ff/ff/ff.

The control interface number does not change in CDC ECM mode,
so the interface number matching rule is sufficient to handle
both modes.  The cdc_ether blacklist entry is only relevant in
CDC ECM mode, but using a similar interface number based rule
helps document this as a transfer from one driver to another.

Other Huawei 02/06/ff devices are left with the cdc_ether driver
because we do not know whether they are based on Qualcomm chips.
The Huawei specific AT command management is known to be somewhat
hardware independent, and their usage of these class codes may
also be independent of the modem hardware.

qmi_wwan/cdc_ether: add device IDs for Dell 5804 (Novatel E371) WWAN card

2013-05-08T19:08:14+00:00

A rebranded Novatel E371 for AT&T's LTE bands.  qmi_wwan should drive this
device, while cdc_ether should ignore it.  Even though the USB descriptors
are plain CDC-ETHER that USB interface is a QMI interface.

qmi_wwan/cdc_ether: move Novatel 551 and E362 to qmi_wwan

2012-10-26T07:44:34+00:00

These devices provide QMI and ethernet functionality via a standard CDC
ethernet descriptor.  But when driven by cdc_ether, the QMI
functionality is unavailable because only cdc_ether can claim the USB
interface.  Thus blacklist the devices in cdc_ether and add their IDs to
qmi_wwan, which enables both QMI and ethernet simultaneously.
