QMI wwan devices have traditionally emulated ethernet devices by default. But they have always had the capability of operating without any L2 header at all, transmitting and receiving "raw" IP packets over the USB link. This firmware feature used to be configurable through the QMI management protocol. Traditionally there was no way to verify the firmware mode without attempting to change it. And the firmware would often disallow changes anyway, i.e. due to a session already being established. In some cases, this could be a hidden firmware internal session, completely outside host control. For these reasons, sticking with the "well known" default mode was safest. But newer generations of QMI hardware and firmware have moved towards defaulting to "raw IP" mode instead, followed by an increasing number of bugs in the already buggy "802.3" firmware implementation. At the same time, the QMI management protocol gained the ability to detect the current mode. This has enabled the userspace QMI management application to verify the current firmware mode without trying to modify it. Following this development, the latest QMI hardware and firmware (the MDM9x30 generation) has dropped support for "802.3" mode entirely. Support for "raw IP" framing in the driver is therefore necessary for these devices, and to a certain degree to work around problems with the previous generation, This patch adds support for "raw IP" framing for QMI devices, changing the netdev from an ethernet device to an ARPHRD_NONE p-t-p device when "raw IP" framing is enabled. The firmware setup is fully delegated to the QMI userspace management application, through simple tunneling of the QMI protocol. The driver will therefore not know which mode has been "negotiated" between firmware and userspace. Allowing userspace to inform the driver of the result through a sysfs switch is considered a better alternative than to change the well established clean delegation of firmware management to userspace.
