Qualcomm suggests to use mux id values >= 0x81: though this does not
seem a strict mandatory rule, there are scenarios in which the usage of
a specifix mux id is required otherwise various kind of issues could
happen (e.g. call failure, limited throughput...).
A new ID_MM_INITIAL_QMAP_MUX_ID udev tag allows setting the first initial
mux id value to be used when creating the multiplexed data connection.

This new error type will be used to report errors in the carrier lock
operations performed through ModemManager.
They have a one to one mapping to the MBIM status specific errors.
Certain QMI or MBIM devices may not be able to support multiplexing at
all, or they may support a limited amount of links.
The new ID_MM_MAX_MULTIPLEXED_LINKS udev tag allows specifying the
maximum number of supported multiplexed links; e.g. 0 to report none
supported or 1 to report that one single multiplexed link is
supported.
adding bandwidth information in mm-dbus interface
for the serving cell. In serving cell, the details
on whether the pcell/scell are from MCS or SCG is
also updated.

This new method allows querying the modem for information about the
current serving cell(s) as well as any other neighboring cell that may
be found.
The information for the cells is given in an array of dictionaries,
where each element of the dictionary is a new dictionary itself.
Each cell type has a different set of properties that may be given in
the dictionary, and some of those properties in each type are also
applicable under certain conditions (e.g. only applicable to the cell
if it's a 'serving' cell instead of 'neighboring').
The API documentation explains in detail what is expected in each
case.
The 'allow-roaming' setting should be considered deprecated for 3GPP
devices that support the new 'roaming-allowance' setting, which is
much more detailed (as it allows to differentiate between partner and
non-partner networks) and may also be stored as part of a profile.
In 5G capable devices, which can support multiple types of access
types (either 3GPP or non-3GPP), the UE may request to use a 3GPP
access type exclusively, prefer a 3GPP access type, or just report no
preference.
When supported, this field may also be part of the settings that can
be stored as part of a profile.
A new set of property+method is added to be able to configure the 5G
specific registration settings, initially defining the support for the
MICO mode.
The property name starts with "Nr5g" instead of "5gNr" because of the
limitations imposed by the GObject type system on how properties with
numbers can be named.
We keep the 'WHITELIST-ONLY' filter type name still as an option in
--filter-policy=[POLICY], but deprecated and with the better
'ALLOWLIST-ONLY' replacement suggested from now on.
meson is a build system focused on speed an ease of use, which
helps speeding up the software development. This patch adds meson
support along autotools.
These lists were used in the corresponding TTY_BLACKLIST and
TTY_MANUAL_SCAN_ONLY filter rules, in the LEGACY and PARANOID filter
types, which are no longer supported.
The DEFAULT_ALLOWED filter rule made sense only in the LEGACY filter
type, and therefore it is also now removed, leaving the
DEFAULT_FORBIDDEN fallback rule exclusively. In other words, there is
now no way to ask ModemManager to implicitly allow TTY ports; the only
way to do that is by explicit making the TTY ports fall in one filter
rule that would allow them.
Since ModemManager 1.0 we were publishing symbols to identify all the
possible DBus error name prefixes, but these were never documented,
they were explicitly ignored in gtk-doc.
Let's provide proper documentation for them and make them first-class
API symbols.
Update the list of mobile equipment error codes according to v17.1.0
of 3GPP TS 27.007 (March 2021).
A lot of the enum values that were prefixed with the 'GPRS_' keyword
have now been flagged as deprecated, and a new enum name given to the
corresponding value.
The deprecated symbol names are kept in the compat support to avoid
breaking API/ABI.
This new interface allows modems to expose the list of available
connection profiles stored in the device and edit or delete them; as
long as the underlying device/protocol allows it.
This new setting allows the user setting up the connection to specify
the purpose of the connection being brought up.
Until now, we would always assume that connections are exclusively
brought up for connecting to the Internet, also limited by the
inability to connect to multiple different APNs at the same time.
But that may really not be true as there may be additional services
that may be accessed through other APNs, like MMS services or even
private networks for companies that have their own APNs on a given
operator (e.g. not that uncommon with banks and connected cars).
The new APN type setting will not change the way the bearer is
connected, but will allow the connection manager to decide what kind
of networking setup the specific connection needs.
This new setting can be provided by the user itself, or implicitly
read from the device if the device stores this information.
Include the new SAR interface in the build so that gdbus-codegen
generates support for it in libmm-glib as well as proper documentation
in the API reference.
Both the Simple.Connect() and Modem.CreateBearer() are updated to
allow a new 'multiplex' setting in the properties provided by the user
in both of these methods.
The new setting expects a MMBearerMultiplexSupport enum indicating
what kind of multiplex needs the user has:
* none: if multiplex must not be used.
* requested: if multiplex should be used if available.
* required: if multiplex must be used.
The underlying implementations will take care of accepting or
rejecting the setting depending on the system and modem capabilities.
It is no longer true that all QMI ports are exposed by the qmi_wwan
driver and that all MBIM ports are exposed by the cdc_mbim driver.
There are other generic setups that allow exposing these types of
ports using different drivers, and usually we can also know the type
of port in advance via other means. Therefore, allow adding udev port
type hints for QMI and MBIM ports as well.
This is not just a rename of the rule, we also now avoid doing an
explicit check on the port name as well, and we rely on subsystem
checks only; i.e. the same logic applied for net ports.
The port candidate rules already do a 'cdc-wdm*' device name check
so it shouldn't be a big deal.
