For those who don't care about the QMI support through libqmi-glib, or if you're
stuck with glib 2.30 (libqmi-glib requires 2.32), this configure switch allows
disabling the QMI support completely.
The logic to detect cdc-wdm ports is still in place, but the QMI probing is
never launched at them. Also, all QMI-related objects won't be compiled.
There's no real point in maintaining a separate `MMPlugin' interface, as all the
plugins will inherit from `MMPluginBase', so just merge them and simplify
everything.
Before this, we only exported the modem to DBus when all ports were organized,
in order to make sure that we select as primary port the one we really want and
not the first AT port grabbed. Given that to get all the ports organized we also
needed to wait to get all the ports grabbed, we can now also defer the creation
of the modem object until all the ports get grabbed. This allows us to create
different types of objects based on the ports available (e.g. we can now create
QMI-supported modem objects if we see a QMI port around).
Need to pass the full path of the input files to the glib-mkenums call. This is
because we use an explicit list given in a $(VARIABLE) instead of the built-in
automake variables (e.g. $<)
We get rid of the MMAuthRequests; and we leave up to the caller and user of the
MMAuthProvider the handling of request cancellations through the provided
GCancellable.
Also made GIO-async-friendly methods.
Bearer list operations, except for Bearer creation, are so generic that the
interface itself can implement it for every object implementing the interface.
This implementation is based on a new MMBearerList object.
Make a tight connection between the action of sending AT commands, either single
or in a sequence, with the MMBaseModem object owning the port. This direct
relation allows sending commands without specifying which port to use, so that
the modem object can get the best port at each time, and handling all that in a
single common place.
The original mm-at API has also been modified so that when a single command is
sent, a constant string is returned. We are allowed to return constant strings
in mm_base_modem_at_command_finish() because the string itself is owned by the
GSimpleAsyncResult, and hence, alive enough time. The GSimpleAsyncResult is
completely disposed only after the async call is fully completed.
Same reasoning behind the GVariant returned in the AT sequences; it should not
be owned by the caller, it's a transfer-none in introspection terms.
