Otherwise info->cur_plugin is wrong (and therefore we left uncleared
supports tasks in MMPluginBase) when the port isn't supported by
the plugin, but it's parent modem device was supported by the plugin.
Like when all probing of the port fails but one of it's siblings has
already been claimed by a modem; in this case we just drop the port
(so that no other plugin could try to claim it, because only one
plugin is allowed to handle all a modem's ports) but we still need
to tell the parent modem's plugin to clean up the supports task.
If the modem doesn't have two AT ports (so one can be used for AT+CSQ
while connected) get the 1x active pilot's EC/IO and use that for
signal strength.
A modem is now only exported to D-Bus when both of the following are true:
1) the modem is valid
2) all ports the modem provides have been handled by appropriate plugins
This ensures that all the modem's ports are completely ready before
any clients can do anything with it. In the case of CDMA modems with
QCDM ports, this allows the QCDM ports to be detected before exporting
the modem. Since the QCDM detection comes after AT probing, previously
this resulted in a CDMA modem getting exported to clients before we had
a QCDM port to query for registration status.
Some modems (Huawei E1552) appear to have problems with auto registration
in some circumstances that we don't yet fully understand, such that when
AT+COPS=0 is sent they never end up registering with the correct network.
As a minor workaround, if the modem is already registered with a provider
and the user hasn't specified manual registration, don't set auto
registration but let the modem figure it out itself.
See (bgo #591047) for more details.
Assume (for now) that devices that respond to AT+CPIN without an
error are GSM devices. This may not be 100% true as some devices
in Asia (where CDMA devices use RUIMs which are basically SIMs) support
+CPIN for unlocking the RUIM, but since CDMA devices more consistently
implement AT+GCAP and ATI than we should be safe for a while.
This should solve problems with users who's providers are EVDO
only and thus the device isn't in 1X mode, but who's modems
don't set anything meaningful for CAD or CSS when the 1X radio
isn't registered. Previously, MM would just spin thinking it
wasn't registered when trying to connect.
This was mostly found with AnyDATA, Huawei, and some ZTE devices
from Russia and India.
