Subject: net: cdc_ncm: add Huawei devices
From: Bjørn Mork <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit bbc8d9228ea8e37ce29fa96150d10b85a2c7be60 ]
A number of Huawei 3G and LTE modems implement a CDC NCM function,
including the necessary functional descriptors, but using a non
standard interface layout and class/subclass/protocol codes.
These devices can be handled by this driver with only a minor
change to the probing logic, allowing a single combined control
and data interface. This works because the devices
- include a CDC Union descriptor labelling the combined
interface as both master and slave, and
- have an alternate setting #1 for the bulk endpoints on the
combined interface.
The 3G/LTE network connection is managed by vendor specific AT
commands on a serial function in the same composite device.
Handling the managment function is out of the scope of this
driver. It will be handled by an appropriate USB serial
driver.
