+Subject: [PATCH] net: qmi_wwan: support "raw IP" mode
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+QMI wwan devices have traditionally emulated ethernet devices
+by default. But they have always had the capability of operating
+without any L2 header at all, transmitting and receiving "raw"
+IP packets over the USB link. This firmware feature used to be
+configurable through the QMI management protocol.
+
+Traditionally there was no way to verify the firmware mode
+without attempting to change it. And the firmware would often
+disallow changes anyway, i.e. due to a session already being
+established. In some cases, this could be a hidden firmware
+internal session, completely outside host control. For these
+reasons, sticking with the "well known" default mode was safest.
+
+But newer generations of QMI hardware and firmware have moved
+towards defaulting to "raw IP" mode instead, followed by an
+increasing number of bugs in the already buggy "802.3" firmware
+implementation. At the same time, the QMI management protocol
+gained the ability to detect the current mode. This has enabled
+the userspace QMI management application to verify the current
+firmware mode without trying to modify it.
+
+Following this development, the latest QMI hardware and firmware
+(the MDM9x30 generation) has dropped support for "802.3" mode
+entirely. Support for "raw IP" framing in the driver is therefore
+necessary for these devices, and to a certain degree to work
+around problems with the previous generation,
+
+This patch adds support for "raw IP" framing for QMI devices,
+changing the netdev from an ethernet device to an ARPHRD_NONE
+p-t-p device when "raw IP" framing is enabled.
+
+The firmware setup is fully delegated to the QMI userspace
+management application, through simple tunneling of the QMI
+protocol. The driver will therefore not know which mode has been
+"negotiated" between firmware and userspace. Allowing userspace
+to inform the driver of the result through a sysfs switch is
+considered a better alternative than to change the well established
+clean delegation of firmware management to userspace.
