Added two new values for TechnologyPreference property
as follows:
"umts,gsm"      Dual mode operation with UMTS
                 and GSM radio access whith preference
                 for UMTS.
"lte,umts"      Dual mode operation with LTE
                 and UMTS radio access with preference
                 for LTE.

It looks like an explosive list.
First of all, there are several use cases for gsm+lte, which should
also be added.

I think the current proposal / implementation treats these as an enumeration. But in the future we should be able to expand this API to simply treat the values as a list, e.g. "lte,gsm" should be possible as well. Along with maybe even "gsm,lte,umts", etc.

But then there will be a 5g to the list, and all possible combinations

We do not yet support 5G, so lets cross that bridge when we come to it.

of technologies, and most likely there should be a split for LTE, with
normalLTE, catM and NB-IoT, and all the possible combinations thereof.
I would prefer to have it as a vendor-specific extension, so that the
combinations can also be controlled at the model level.

You can do that already now. It is already possible to add whatever vendor API / extensions you want in the individual modem driver.
