When the serial port buffer gets full of non-AT garbage during port probing,
we were re-scheduling the next probing step, which is completely wrong, as we
then would be processing the same probing task twice. If we get a buffer full,
just cancel the AT probing cancellable, which would cancel not only the possible
AT probings, but also the custom init if there is any.
Also, make sure that the custom_init() of the plugins out there don't return an
error if the GCancellable is cancelled. Cancelling the GCancellable means we
should just stop the custom_init(), and actually sending an error in
custom_init() means that the port should be set as unsupported by the plugin, so
completely different things.

Plugins which may support QMI ports need to explicitly request QMI probing
in cdc-wdm devices. This should also avoid probing cdc-wdm ports when we know
that the plugin doesn't support them (e.g. with Ericsson MBM devices).

Instead of deciding in advance which data port to use, we let the dialling
operation gather it. For the generic dialling logic, ATD-based, always an
'AT' port will be used as data port, even if we grabbed a 'net' port. Those
plugins that can work with 'net' ports will grab the specific 'net' port
themselves.
Instead of returning 3 variables in connect_finish(), return a single reference
counted struct. This simplifies how the result is built and passed within a
GSimpleAsyncResult to each _finish() method.
This also simplifies the dialling step in the 3GPP connection sequence, as we
can use the same new type.
We don't want to retry DHCP? on every possible GError reported; specially if the
error is about the port being forced to get closed when the modem gets
unplugged or the like. So just retry on very specific errors reported.
The main cause for retry is really when the modem replies the following:
--> AT^DHCP?
<-- ERROR
Which in our case gets translated to a 'unknown' mobile equipment error. We'll
also consider any kind of mobile equipment error, as the modems may reply a
CME ERROR instead.
We will now use a step-based state machine to handle the connection and
disconnection sequences. All the previous behaviour is kept, except for these
new things:
* Instead of just subclassing the 'dialling' step in the 3GPP connection
sequence, completely subclass the whole 3GPP connection sequence. We do this
because we don't need to preconfigure PDP contexts with AT+CGDCONT before
issuing ^NDISDUP.
* Don't allow IP types other than IPv4. These modems work only with IPv4
bearers.
* Remove cancellation signal handler; not needed as we can check the status of
the cancellation in every 1s timeout.
* Removed the event source id handling for timeouts; timeouts are never
cancelled here.
Modems with ECM (e.g. usb0) ports should use AT^NDISDUP in the control port to
request the connection and afterwards just fire up the DHCP client in the net
port.
This patch is originally developed by:
Franko Fang <fangxiaozhi@huawei.com>
And afterwareds reviewed and updated by:
Aleksander Morgado <aleksander@gnu.org>
Many Huawei CDMA modems implement vendor commands for 1x and EVDO
signal quality, so use them since they are more accurate than the
generic signal checking.
(port of a similar patch for MM_06 by heiher <admin@heiher.info>)
Some devices (e173) appear to lie about NDIS support; GETPORTMODE reports NDIS
is enabled, but that port is actually the MDM port and responds to AT commands.
So, if we get a port reported as NDIS and none reported as MDM, use the one
reported as NDIS for PPP.

We will not report 'CS' as a supported mode every time '2G' is supported. This
actually was forcing all plugins to handle a 'CS' fallback when they didn't have
CS-specific mode setup. So, to simplify things, we will only report 'CS' as
supported for those plugins which actually allow to select 'CS' mode (e.g. the
'wavecom' plugin).
Both the ModemManager daemon and the mmcli will now include `libmm-glib.h' only.
We also handle two new special `_LIBMM_INSIDE_MM' and `LIBMM_INSIDE_MMCLI'
symbols, which if included before the `libmm-glib.h' library allow us to:
* Don't include the libmm-glib high level API in the ModemManager daemon, as
the object names would clash with those in the core.
* Define some of the methods of helper objects to be included only if compiling
ModemManager daemon or the mmcli.
For those who don't care about the QMI support through libqmi-glib, or if you're
stuck with glib 2.30 (libqmi-glib requires 2.32), this configure switch allows
disabling the QMI support completely.
The logic to detect cdc-wdm ports is still in place, but the QMI probing is
never launched at them. Also, all QMI-related objects won't be compiled.
Different ports of the same modem may get handled by different drivers. We
therefore need to provide a list of drivers (new `Modem.Drivers' property with
signature 'as') instead of just one (removed `Modem.Driver' property with
signature 's').
$ sudo mmcli -m 0 | grep drivers
| drivers: 'qcserial, qmi_wwan'
