      ====================
      The huawei_cdc_ncm driver.
      
      Enrico has been kind enough to let me repost his driver with the changes
      requested by Oliver Neukum during the last review of this series.
      
      The changes I have made from Enricos original v5 series to this version
      are:
      
      v6:
       - fix to avoid corrupting drvstate->pmcount
       - fix error return value from huawei_cdc_ncm_suspend()
       - drop redundant testing for subdriver->suspend during resume
       - broke a few lines to keep within the 80 columns recommendation
       - rebased on top of current net-next
      
      Enrico's orginal introduction to the v5 series follows below.  It explains
      the background much better than I can.

      So this is a new, revised, edition of the huawei_cdc_ncm.c driver, which
      supports devices resembling the NCM standard, but using it also as a mean
      to encapsulate other protocols, as is the case for the Huawei E3131 and
      E3251 modem devices.
      Some precisations are needed however - and I encourage discussion on this: and
      that's why I'm sending this message with a broader CC.
      Merging those patches might change:
      - the way Modem Manager interacts with those devices
      - some regressions might be possible if there are some unknown firmware
        variants around (Franko?)
      
      First of all: I observed the behaviours of two devices.
      Huawei E3131: this device doesn't accept NDIS setup requests unless they're
      sent via the embedded AT channel exposed by this driver.
      So actually we gain funcionality in this case!
      
      The second case, is the Huawei E3251: which works with standard NCM driver,
      still exposing an AT embedded channel. Whith this patch set applied, you gain
      some funcionality, loosing the ability to catch standard NCM events for now.
      The device will work in both ways with no problems, but this has to be
      acknowledged and discussed. Might be we can develop this driver further to
      change this, when more devices are tested.
      
      We where thinking Huawei changed their interfaces on new devices - but probably
      this driver only works around a nice firmware bug present in E3131, which
      prevented the modem from being used in NDIS mode.
      
      I think committing this is definitely wortth-while, since it will allow for
      more Huawei devices to be used without serial connection. Some devices like the
      E3251 also, reports some status information only via the embedded AT channel,
      at least in my case.
      Note: I'm not subscribed to any list except the Modem Manager's one, so please
      CC me, thanks!!

      Remove device IDs of NCM-like (but not NCM-conformant) devices, that are
      handled by the huawwei_cdc_ncm driver now.

      net: huawei_cdc_ncm: Introduce the huawei_cdc_ncm driver · 41c47d8c
      Enrico Mioso authored
      This driver supports devices using the NCM protocol as an encapsulation layer
      for other protocols, like the E3131 Huawei 3G modem. This drivers approach was
      heavily inspired by the qmi_wwan/cdc_mbim approach & code model.

      Some drivers implementing NCM-like protocols, may re-use those functions, as is
      the case in the huawei_cdc_ncm driver.
      Export them via EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, in accordance with how other functions have
      been exported.
