net: Add Qcom WWAN control driver
The MHI WWWAN control driver allows MHI QCOM-based modems to expose different modem control protocols/ports via the WWAN framework, so that userspace modem tools or daemon (e.g. ModemManager) can control WWAN config and state (APN config, SMS, provider selection...). A QCOM-based modem can expose one or several of the following protocols: - AT: Well known AT commands interactive protocol (microcom, minicom...) - MBIM: Mobile Broadband Interface Model (libmbim, mbimcli) - QMI: QCOM MSM/Modem Interface (libqmi, qmicli) - QCDM: QCOM Modem diagnostic interface (libqcdm) - FIREHOSE: XML-based protocol for Modem firmware management (qmi-firmware-update) Note that this patch is mostly a rework of the earlier MHI UCI tentative that was a generic interface for accessing MHI bus from userspace. As suggested, this new version is WWAN specific and is dedicated to only expose channels used for controlling a modem, and for which related opensource userpace support exist.
