Modem plugins may set the 'modem' property before the 'config' property when
creating a bearer. set_signal_handlers() should thus be called after both
properties are set such that modem_{3gpp,cdma}_registration_state_changed
checks roaming allowance correctly when launching a connection.
Based on a draft patch by:
Ben Chan <benchan@chromium.org>
ModemManager configure script currenty requires glib 2.30.2 or later,
bud g_variant_new_fixed_array requires at least glib 2.32. To maintain
the compatibility with glib 2.30, this patch modifies the code to use
g_variant_new_from_data instead of g_variant_new_fixed_array.
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.
Modems have a maximum of bearers allowed to be connected at a time, number which
is given by the number of available ports that may be used for data connections.
When Simple.Connect() tries to launch a connection, it will try to find first an
existing bearer with the required parameters (e.g. APN, IP type). If such bearer
is found, it will just use it. If no such bearer is found, it will try to create
one. When trying to create one, if there is no more room for bearers in the
modem, we will remove the first disconnected bearer that we find, if any, before
trying to create the new one. This logic now makes sure that no connected bearer
gets removed in order to create a new one, and also that only one existing gets
removed if possible (not every bearer as we did previously).
Further logic to connect multiple bearers at a time cannot be done using the
Simple interface.
Huawei modems will probe interface 0 always first; if we try to probe another
interface meanwhile the supports check will give us a MM_CORE_ERROR_RETRY error,
indicating that we need to defer the probing of the port.

When the modem gets unplugged, or system gone into suspend, we start losing the
modem ports one by one. When the last is lost, we trigger the disposal of the
modem (we call g_object_run_dispose() and then we call the main-reference
unref()). So, if we end up losing all ports while the connection sequence was
being run, we would end up in this situation, where we try to disconnect the
bearers (the bearer and modem objects are still valid, as we have references
around, but the list of bearers won't be available any more in the modem object
as it was cleared in the modem dispose().

Some modems (e.g. Sierra Wireless MC7710 or ZTE MF820D) won't report LTE
capabilities even if they have them. So just run AT+WS46=? as well to see
if the current supported modes list includes any LTE-specific mode.
This is not a big deal, as the AT+WS46=? command is a test command with a
cache-able result, so the next time we need the command result (when loading
supported modes) the value will be loaded from the cache.
Current capabilities is the set of *active* radios that can be used
right now. Modem capabilities are the set of all radios the modem
could use, if some action were performed to enable them if they are
not enabled already (firmware reload, changing allowed mode, etc).
For QMI devices, the DMS Get Capabilities command represents all
radios, and thus "modem capabilities".
But to read *current* capabilities, ie active radios, we need to
query the NAS System Selection Preference and grab the "mode
preference" TLV. Unfortunately that is only available with NAS
>= 1.1, which means older Gobi devices (1K and 2K) don't support
it. So for older devices, we try to get the Technology Preference
(which takes into account user-requested limitations) and then
mask that with the DMS Get Capabilities result for a best-effort
current capabilities.
For example, the Pantech UML290VW reports DMS Get Capabilities
of "cdma, evdo, gsm, umts, lte", but a more limited SSP mode
preference according to what modes are actually enabled. Gobi
1K devices don't support SSP, and the DMS Get Capabilities
reports cdma/evdo or gsm/umts depending on the currently loaded
firmware. Previous to this patch, ModemManager reported all
modes as available on the UML290, ignoring what modes were
actually enabled.
Get/Set Technology Preference was introduced in NAS 1.0, so should be always
available (even if we thought it was introduced in NAS 1.7, that's not true).
But the newer System Selection Preference behaves better as it allows more
features like 'preferred' modes; so use it when available (NAS >= 1.1).
Some of the IP address items will be 0.0.0.0 depending on what the
other items are, like when the duplicate gateway is set on newer
devices, the first gateway address may be 0.0.0.0. Since that's
not a valid IP address, just don't set that member of the config.
Second, the intent with the duplicate gateway is only to use that
when the first gateway was not given (ie, was 0.0.0.0) so fix the
check for that.
Most Sierra PPP-based devices are supposed to allow PPP on the
APP1 port, which has a dumb AT parser, leaving the main port
(with the intelligent AT parser) free for status and signal strength.
But out of all the devices I've tested it with (8775, 8781, AC881,
and C885), only the C885 actually works. The rest (including three
different firmware versions for the 8775) either crash or disconnect
shortly after PPP starts.
To help figure out which devices actually support this, when
running MM in debug mode, users can set the MM_SIERRA_APP1_PPP_OK
environment variable and assume the APP1 port allows PPP. This
is only for debugging purposes.

sierra: fix CSQ handling on APP1 port
The APP1 port doesn't always prefix its replies with <CR><LF> which
runs afoul of the built-in echo removal. Since Sierra modems are on
the whole well-behaved WRT echo removal, just disable it on the
secondary ports. Only changes behavior for PPP-based devices since
they are the only ones that use the APP1 ports.

core: speed up QCDM probing a bit
The point of sending two "version info" commands was to ensure that
the terminating 0x7E of the first one was processed as a QCDM frame
boundary and that any random data in the buffer (like AT commands
from probing) got cleared out. The second command would always
get processed as a valid QCDM command if the device supported QCDM,
since there was no garbage before it.
Instead of that dance, just prepend the version info message with
an extra 0x7E to ensure a clean QCDM frame which the device hopefully
responds to immediately. Second, actually process that response
instead of throwing it away. Should save about 3 seconds when
probing QCDM ports.

sierra: use DHCP for the USB 305 (AT&T Lightning)
For some reason, my AT&T Lightning just doesn't work with static
IP (AT%IPDPADDR) any more. No traffic passes even though everything
is set up the way it was before. No idea what happened. Using
latest firmware 2.0.0.11.
But what's interesting is on Windows the generic Sierra Watcher
app uses DHCP. But on Linux, when using AT%IPDPACT, DHCP doesn't
work. That's odd. But it turns out the modem supports the
"standard" Sierra proprietary AT!SCACT commands, and that
*does* make DHCP work. Crazy no? So since the Windows app
uses DHCP, it's likely that the non-DHCP case (AT%IPDPACT/AT%IPDPADDR)
either isn't well tested or isn't well supported. With that
in mind, let's just use DHCP for this device in Linux too.

icera: handle additional IPv4 configuration options
Newer devices like the ZTE/Vodafone K3805-z have an enhanced
%IPDPADDR command that includes a netmask and gateway, and
these are necessary to configure the device since it uses /24
instead of a /32. Since the device is nice enough to tell
us that, we should probably use that information.
Unfortunately the MM API doens't expose the netmask and gateway
yet, so we'll have to add a GetIP4ConfigEx() method or something
like that, but this commit sets us up to do that.

gsm: if the generic CNMI request fails, try a Qualcomm-compatible one
Many devices based on Qualcomm chipsets don't support a <ds> value
of '1', despite saying they do in the AT+CNMI=? response. But they
do accept '2'. Since we're not doing much with delivery status
reports yet, if we get a CME 303 (not supported) error when setting
the message indication parameters via CNMI, fall back to the
Qualcomm-compatible CNMI parameters.
If we don't do this, we don't get SMS indications on these devices,
because the original CNMI failed.

icera: retry configuring PDP context if it fails.
If a connect operation is attempted immediately after a disconnect,
it sometimes fails with CME error 583 - "a profile (CID) is currently
active". Apparently, even though the preceding operation (%IPDPACT)
to deactivate the PDP context returned an OK response, the context
is not really completely available until a fraction of a second
later. This causes the %IPDPCFG operation that is part of the
subsequent connect attempt to fail with error 583. This change
retries the %IPDPCFG after a one second delay.
BUG=chrome-os-partner:4936
TEST=This can be tested from the UI, but I found it easier to produce
the timing needed to trigger the bug by running mm-disconnect and
mm-connect from a shell.
Start out with the modem in the connected state. In the shell, run
sudo /usr/local/lib/flimflam/test/mm-disconnect; sudo /usr/local/lib/flimflam/test/mm-connect --number='*99#' --apn=wap.cingular
modem-manager should emit the log line "Invalid error code: 583".
Prior to this change, the connect operation would fail. Now it should
succeed.

The APP1 port (which has a limited AT parser) doesn't prefix
its replies with <CR><LF> like nice modems do, and that means
it runs afoul of the echo removal bits of the AT serial port

prefixed properly to find the APP1 string in the response.

core: add function to open probe ports without removing echo
Some devices (Sierra GSM ones) return stuff we need but don't
bother to prefix it with <CR><LF>, so we need to optionally turn
off the echo removal at probe time.
Don't abort the connection if the modem reports unregistered in either
3GPP or CDMA, as mixed CDMA+3GPP modems may connect even if not registered
in both technologies.
Some sierra modems (e.g. MC7710) have a secondary port that likes to reply OK
to any AT command passed. Detect that as soon as possible, and don't consider
the Icera port probing result from that secondary port.
