There are modems out there, that reuse the same vid:pid for multiple
USB layouts, so there may be port type hints that are not really
applicable in all layouts.
E.g. the EM7565 in MBIM layout uses interface #0 for the MBIM port,
while in QMI layout it uses interface #0 for the QCDM port (which is
what the port type hint included in MM states). With these rules, if
we don't bind the port type hint to TTY ports only, we would be
wrongly flagging the MBIM port as possible QCDM port:
<debug> [plugin/sierra] probes required for port cdc-wdm0: 'mbim'
<debug> [cdc-wdm0/probe] no AT/QMI/MBIM probing in possible QCDM port
<debug> [cdc-wdm0/probe] port is not AT-capable
<debug> [cdc-wdm0/probe] port is not QMI-capable
<debug> [cdc-wdm0/probe] port is not MBIM-capable
<debug> [cdc-wdm0/probe] port probing finished: no more probings needed
Avoid this, by making sure all port type hints are added exclusively
to TTY ports. It's not a perfect solution, but it's enough for the
known cases.
Using CPOL? in the EM7345 (firmware FIH7160_V1.1_MODEM_01.1349.12)
ends up with the whole AT port stuck and non-responsive, which leads
to flagging the modem as unusable later on as soon as 10 consecutive
AT command timeouts happen.
In order to avoid that, we explicitly disable all CPOL based features
in this specific module.

When a new USB device is hotplugged, e.g. a USB<->RS232 converter that
exposes a single ttyUSB0, these udev events happen:
add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1 (usb/usb-device)
add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0 (usb/usb-interface)
add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/ttyUSB0 (usb-serial)
add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/ttyUSB0/tty/ttyUSB0 (tty)
bind /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/ttyUSB0 (usb-serial)
bind /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0 (usb/usb-interface)
bind /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1 (usb/usb-device)
Our udev rules in MM only added tags in the 'add' events, and it looks
like the only ones 'persistent' after this sequence are those of the
last event happening on the specific path.
This meant that all TTY subsystem rules (e.g. ID_MM_CANDIDATE) would
be stored for later check (e.g. if ModemManager is started after these
rules have been applied), which was ok. "udevadm info -p ..." would
show these tags correctly always.
But this also meant that the 'bind' udev event happening for the USB
device didn't get any of our device-specific tags, and so we would be
missing them (e.g. ID_MM_DEVICE_MANUAL_SCAN_ONLY) if MM is started
after the last event has happened. "udevadm info -p ..." would
not show these tags.
Modify all our rules to also run at the 'bind' events.

The Netgear AC341U seems to delay reporting packet service status
indications or actually not even send them. This leaves us with modems
in connected state in ModemManager but actually disconnected. We can
detect this situation by actively polling ourselves the connection
status.
See e.g. this case where the indication is received 2.5 mins after the
first OutOfCall error detected when loading statistics.
