Please add the qmi_wwan driver from current (v3.4-rc)
mainline to the Debian linux-3.2 based kernels. This
is as simple as cherry-picking the commits listed below in
the listed order. I've verified that the list applies
cleanly on top of v3.2.16 and that it produces the expected
result.
CONFIG_USB_NET_QMI_WWAN must of course be enabled after
adding the driver. No other CONFIG changes are necessary.
The first batch updates the existing cdc-wdm driver to the
version in v3.4-rc4, except for the module_usb_driver()
changes from commit 65db43054. That commit touches a large
number of unrelated drivers, and all listed commits apply
cleanly without it, so I believe it's best ignored. The
other changes are necessary to add the subdriver interface
used by the qmi_wwan driver.
The second batch is just a single bugfix for the sierra
driver, which is necessary to allow the qmi_wwan driver
to support some Sierra Wireless devices. This could have
gone to stable/linux-3.2.y but I did't submit it there as
it is mostly irrelevant without the qmi_wwan driver.
The third batch adds the new qmi_wwan driver as it will appear
in v3.4-rc5. The driver has been stabilizing for a while,
and I don't expect any major changes to it in the near future.
Thanks for considering this. Let me know if there are any
problems with this request.
