The WWAN framework provides a unified way to handle WWAN/modems and its control port(s). It has initially been introduced to support MHI/PCI modems, offering the same control protocols as the USB variants such as MBIM, QMI, AT... The WWAN framework exposes these control protocols as character devices, similarly to cdc-wdm, but in a bus agnostic fashion. This change adds registration of the USB modem cdc-wdm control endpoints to the WWAN framework as standard control ports (wwanXpY...). Exposing cdc-wdm through WWAN framework normally maintains backward compatibility, e.g: $ qmicli --device-open-qmi -d /dev/wwan0p1QMI --dms-get-ids instead of $ qmicli --device-open-qmi -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --dms-get-ids However, some tools may rely on cdc-wdm driver/device name for device detection. It is then safer to keep the 'legacy' cdc-wdm character device to prevent any breakage. This is handled in this change by API mutual exclusion, only one access method can be used at a time, either cdc-wdm chardev or WWAN API. Note that unknown channel types (other than MBIM, AT or MBIM) are not registered to the WWAN framework. Signed-off-by: Loic Poulain <loic.poulain@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
