usb: class: cdc-wdm: WWAN framework integration



The WWAN framework provides a unified way to handle WWAN/modems and its
control port(s). It has initially been introduced to support MHI/PCI
modems, offering the same control protocols as the USB variants such as
MBIM, QMI, AT... The WWAN framework exposes these control protocols as
character devices, similarly to cdc-wdm, but in a bus agnostic fashion.

This change adds registration of the USB modem cdc-wdm control endpoints
to the WWAN framework as standard control ports (wwanXpY...).

Exposing cdc-wdm through WWAN framework normally maintains backward
compatibility, e.g:
    $ qmicli --device-open-qmi -d /dev/wwan0p1QMI --dms-get-ids
instead of
    $ qmicli --device-open-qmi -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --dms-get-ids

However, some tools may rely on cdc-wdm driver/device name for device
detection. It is then safer to keep the 'legacy' cdc-wdm character
device to prevent any breakage. This is handled in this change by
API mutual exclusion, only one access method can be used at a time,
either cdc-wdm chardev or WWAN API.

Note that unknown channel types (other than MBIM, AT or MBIM) are not
registered to the WWAN framework.
