I was targeting to have the vendor-specific plugins provide QMI
support themselves, instead of always falling back to the generic
plugin looking for QMI support. The main reasoning is that the probing
will be quicker if there's a VID-based filter that grabs the plugin
right away, instead of falling back to generic, which among other
things may try the vendor/product string probing, which is slower. Not
sure if this idea is good or bad, but I think it makes sense.
What do you guys think? I believe the Telit plugin has the same
'issue', it doesn't explicitly support QMI and falls back to the
generic plugin for the LN920.
