net: usb: qmi_wwan: New driver for Huawei QMI based WWAN devices

Some WWAN LTE/3G devices based on chipsets from Qualcomm provide
near standard CDC ECM interfaces in addition to the usual serial
interfaces.   The Huawei E392/E398 are examples of such devices.

These typically cannot be fully configured using AT commands
over a serial interface.  It is necessary to speak the proprietary
Qualcomm MSM Interface (QMI) protocol to the device to enable the
ethernet proxy functionality.

The devices embed the QMI protocol in CDC on the control interface,
using standard CDC commands and notifications. The do not otherwise
use CDC commands for the ethernet function.  This driver does
therefore not need access to any other aspects of the control
interface than the descriptors attached to it.

Another driver, cdc-wdm, will provide userspace access to the
QMI protocol independently of this driver.  To facilitate this,
this driver avoids binding to the control interface, and uses
only the associated data interface after parsing the common CDC
functional descriptors on the control interface.

You will want both the cdc-wdm and option drivers as companions to
this driver, to have full access to all interfaces and protocols
exported by the device.

+ * This driver supports wwan (3G/LTE/?) devices using a vendor
+ * specific management protocol called Qualcomm MSM Interface (QMI) -
+ * in addition to the more common AT commands over serial interface
+ * management
+ *
+ * QMI is wrapped in CDC, using CDC encapsulated commands on the
+ * control ("master") interface of a two-interface CDC Union
+ * resembling standard CDC ECM.  The devices do not use the control
+ * interface for any other CDC messages.  Most likely because the
+ * management protocol is used in place of the standard CDC
+ * notifications NOTIFY_NETWORK_CONNECTION and NOTIFY_SPEED_CHANGE
+ *
+ * Handling a protocol like QMI is out of the scope for any driver.
+ * It can be exported as a character device using the cdc-wdm driver,
+ * which will enable userspace applications ("modem managers") to
+ * handle it.  This may be required to use the network interface
+ * provided by the driver.
+ *
+ * These devices may alternatively/additionally be configured using AT
+ * commands on any of the serial interfaces driven by the option driver
+ *
+ * This driver binds only to the data ("slave") interface to enable
+ * the cdc-wdm driver to bind to the control interface.  It still
+ * parses the CDC functional descriptors on the control interface to
+ *  a) verify that this is indeed a handled interface (CDC Union
+ *     header lists it as slave)
+ *  b) get MAC address and other ethernet config from the CDC Ethernet
+ *     header
+ *  c) enable user bind requests against the control interface, which
+ *     is the common way to bind to CDC Ethernet Control Model type
+ *     interfaces
+ *  d) provide a hint to the user about which interface is the
+ *     corresponding management interface
