When we're reusing over and over the same bearer object, we can
provide statistical information about the number of connection
attempts that have been done and how many of them failed.
This new flag allows users of the API to know whether general purpose
voice calls are allowed or otherwise only voice calls to the
registered emergency numbers should be performed.
ModemManager won't really do any distinction between emergency and
non-emergency calls at this point, this flag is just an early
indication for the user of the API that no normal voice call should be
attempted.
These new methods allow querying and updating the status of the call
waiting network service, as per 3GPP TS 22.083.
The status of the service is not a property because we don't want to
unconditionally load it on every boot, given that the process involves
talking to the network (i.e. it is not a device setting).
This method will join all active and held calls into a single
multiparty call, and then request the network to terminate the call on
the subscriber's end and transfer the control of the call to the
parties that are still in the call.
This method will put the currently active call on hold, and right away
accept the next available call.
The user of the API does not need to specify explicitly which is the
next call to accept, because that is decided automatically:
* If there is any waiting call, it will accept it right away.
* If there is no waiting call but there is a held call, it will make
the held call active again.
This method will hangup the currently active call and right away
accept the next available call.
The user of the API does not need to specify explicitly which is the
next call to accept, because that is decided automatically:
* If there is any waiting call, it will accept it right away.
* If there is no waiting call but there is a held call, it will make
the held call active again.
Which reports the version of the currently active carrier
configuration.
We also update the firmware 'version' reported in the firmware
settings so that carrier-specific upgrades can be performed (e.g. when
the firmware stays the same but the MCFG is updated).
During initialization phase we will allow querying the modem for the
details of which carrier-specific configuration is being used, and
will expose a description string in the API.
In addition to showing the current configuration, we will also allow
automatically switching the configuration based on the SIM card
detected in the device. In order to allow this, plugins/modems will
need to provide the expected mapping between carrier config
description and MCCMNC. This mapping cannot be generic, because
different manufacturers may use different description strings.
This new method allows users of the ModemManager API to take full
control of a given device.
Unlike other operations in the API, the inhibition is maintained as
long as the caller exists in the bus, or until the same caller
uninhibits the device.

This property contains the DBus path of a Bearer object of type
MM_BEARER_TYPE_DEFAULT_ATTACH, which is automatically exposed by the
modem when registered in the LTE network.
Unlike standard bearer objects created by the user, this bearer won't
allow any connection/disconnection request, as its status is bound to
the LTE registration exclusively.
The bearer settings exposed by the object include the APN details that
have been used during the initial packet network attach, which may be
defined by modem settings (e.g. if previously configured in the
firmware which APN to use for the given SIM card operator) or by the
network itself (e.g. if none configured, or if a network override is
required as when roaming).
The bearer object will be created as soon as the LTE attach status
details are known, and only while the modem is enabled. The
implementation allows modems to update the LTE attach status details
during runtime, so the bearer object with the settings may be
recreated during runtime as well.
Until now we have only allowed to use and setup 'default bearers' (in
4G) or 'primary contexts' (in 2G/3G).
We can define a couple of additional bearer types, though:
* The 'dedicated bearers' (in 4G) or 'secondary contexts' (in 2G/3G),
which are associated to a specific default/primary one, but which
provide specific QoS settings configured via traffic flow templates.
* The 'initial default EPS bearer', which is a special case of default
bearer in LTE, which is automatically created and connected when the
modem is registered in the LTE network.
This commit introduces a new 'MMBearerType' enumeration that will be
associated to each bearer through a 'BearerType' property in the
org.freedesktop.ModemManager1.Bearer interface, showing what kind of
bearer/context this is.
By default, right now, all bearer objects created are 'default'
bearers.
This method is completely unnecessary as we have the readable Bearers
property already in place, so let's deprecate it.
Worth noting that the mm_modem_list_bearers() async/sync methods in
libmm-glib were not really using the ListBearers() method anyway, they
are using the property directly. These methods are NOT deprecated,
because they allow us to get a list of MMBearer objects, instead of
just the list of DBus paths that we get when reading the Bearers
property directly.
We also remove --list-bearers from the mmcli operation list as we have
already the same information in the standard modem output.
