Previously there was an issue where if the probe failed, because
we can't really probe huawei secondary ports for various reasons,
the Generic plugin would eventually come around and try actively
probing the secondary port after the Huawei plugin said "I don't
support this port". Which resulted (potentially) in two MMModem
objects for the same device (one driven by Huawei, the other by
Generic).
Using the USB product ID to direct certain modems to the generic
driver is wrong since even new modems like the E1550 are 0x1001
after the modeswitch. Instead, lets assume that most current modes
use the Huawei-specific AT command set.
For QCDM devices we want most of what MMSerialPort does, but not
the AT command handling stuff since the commands and responses
aren't AT commands nor are they even strings. So convert everything
that MMSerialPort does into a GByteArray, and let MMAtSerialPort
handle the conversion to strings when necessary.
Like UMTS vs. GSM, EVDO and 1x are separate networks and technologies
and have separate registration state. You can even be roaming on
EVDO while in your home 1x network. Handle that.
ZTE modems need to use udev rules to assign port type hints,
so generalize that and port all the plugins over to suggested
port types in the MMModem interface's grab_port() function.
Allow plugins to perform asynchronous port detection, and to defer port detection
until later. This moves the prober bits into MMPluginBase so that all plugins
can take adavantage of it only when needed; the probing is not done at udev time.
Furthermore, plugins like Novatel can flip the secondary ports over the AT mode
through deferred detection, by deferring the secondary ports until the main port
has been detected and AT$NWDMAT has been sent.
This commit also finishes the port of the rest of the plugins (except mbm) over
to the new port detection methods and plugin API.
