commit bd329e1 ("net: cdc_ncm: do not bind to NCM compatible MBIM devices")
introduced a new policy, preferring MBIM for dual NCM/MBIM functions if
the cdc_mbim driver was enabled. This caused a regression for users
wanting to use NCM.
Devices implementing NCM backwards compatibility according to section
3.2 of the MBIM v1.0 specification allow either NCM or MBIM on a single
USB function, using different altsettings. The cdc_ncm and cdc_mbim
drivers will both probe such functions, and must agree on a common
policy for selecting either MBIM or NCM. Until now, this policy has
been set at build time based on CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_MBIM.
Use a module parameter to set the system policy at runtime, allowing the
user to prefer NCM on systems with the cdc_mbim driver.

commit bd329e1 ("net: cdc_ncm: do not bind to NCM compatible MBIM devices")
added a test for a CDC MBIM altsetting, implementing the cdc_ncm part of
MBIM backward compatibility support. This intentionally made the driver
behave differently for CDC NCM devices with 2 alternate settings for the
Communication interface, depending on whether or not CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_MBIM
was enabled. This is correct iff alternate setting #1 really *is* a MBIM
setting. If not, then NCM probing will use a different altsetting than before,
possibly causing probing failures depending on CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_MBIM.
Fix by setting the altsetting back to default after the test, restoring the
previous behaviour for non MBIM devices.
This bug causes probing of Huawei E3276 devices to fail when the MBIM driver
is enabled, because these devices have a second alternate setting with no CDC
functional descriptors.

Adding support for the MBIM mode in some Sierra Wireless devices.
Some Sierra Wireless firmwares support CDC MBIM but have no CDC
Union funtional descriptor. This violates the MBIM specification,
but we can easily work around the bug by looking at the Interface
Association Descriptor instead. This is most likely what
Windows uses too, which explains how the firmware bug has gone
unnoticed until now.
This change will not affect any currently supported device
conforming to the NCM or MBIM specifications, as they must have

A number of Huawei 3G and LTE modems implement a CDC NCM function,
including the necessary functional descriptors, but using a non
standard interface layout and class/subclass/protocol codes.
These devices can be handled by this driver with only a minor
change to the probing logic, allowing a single combined control
and data interface. This works because the devices
- include a CDC Union descriptor labelling the combined
interface as both master and slave, and
- have an alternate setting #1 for the bulk endpoints on the
combined interface.
The 3G/LTE network connection is managed by vendor specific AT
commands on a serial function in the same composite device.
Handling the managment function is out of the scope of this
driver. It will be handled by an appropriate USB serial
driver.

Some devices do not support the 8 byte variants of the NTB input
size control messages despite announcing such support in their
NCM or MBIM functional descriptor.
According to the NCM specification, all devices must support the
4 byte variant regardless of whether or not the flag is set:
If bit D5 is set in the bmNetworkCapabilities field of
function’s NCM Functional Descriptor, the host may
set wLength either to 4 or to 8. If wLength is 4, the
function shall assume that wNtbInMaxDatagrams is to be
set to zero. If wLength is 8, then the function shall
use the provided value as the limit. The function shall
return an error response (a STALL PID) if wLength is set
to any other value.
We do not set wNtbInMaxDatagrams in any case, so we can just as
well unconditionally use the 4 byte variant without losing any
functionality. This works around the known firmware bug, and
simplifies the code considerably.

Hub-initiated LPM is not good for USB communications devices. Comms
devices should be able to tell when their link can go into a lower power
state, because they know when an incoming transmission is finished.
Ideally, these devices would slam their links into a lower power state,
using the device-initiated LPM, after finishing the last packet of their
data transfer.
If we enable the idle timeouts for the parent hubs to enable
hub-initiated LPM, we will get a lot of useless LPM packets on the bus
as the devices reject LPM transitions when they're in the middle of
receiving data. Worse, some devices might blindly accept the
hub-initiated LPM and power down their radios while they're in the
middle of receiving a transmission.
The Intel Windows folks are disabling hub-initiated LPM for all USB
communications devices under a xHCI USB 3.0 host. In order to keep
the Linux behavior as close as possible to Windows, we need to do the
same in Linux.
Set the disable_hub_initiated_lpm flag for for all USB communications
drivers. I know there aren't currently any USB 3.0 devices that
implement these class specifications, but we should be ready if they do.

The documentation for the USB ethernet devices suggests that
only some devices are supposed to use usb0 as the network interface
name instead of eth0. The logic used there, and documented in
Kconfig for CDC is that eth0 will be used when the mac address
is a globally assigned one, but usb0 is used for the locally
managed range that is typically used on point-to-point links.
Unfortunately, this has caused a lot of pain on the smsc95xx
device that is used on the popular pandaboard without an
EEPROM to store the MAC address, which causes the driver to
call random_ether_address().
Obviously, there should be a proper MAC addressed assigned to
the device, and discussions are ongoing about how to solve
this, but this patch at least makes sure that the default
interface naming gets a little saner and matches what the
user can expect based on the documentation, including for
new devices.
The approach taken here is to flag whether a device might be a
point-to-point link with the new FLAG_POINTTOPOINT setting in
the usbnet driver_info. A driver can set both FLAG_POINTTOPOINT
and FLAG_ETHER if it is not sure (e.g. cdc_ether), or just one
of the two. The usbnet framework only looks at the MAC address
for device naming if both flags are set, otherwise it trusts the
flag.

skb_clone() dynamically allocates memory and may fail. If it does it
returns NULL. This means we'll dereference a NULL pointer in
drivers/net/usb/cdc_ncm.c::cdc_ncm_rx_fixup().
As far as I can tell, the proper way to deal with this is simply to goto
the error label.
Furthermore gcc complains that 'skb' may be used uninitialized:
drivers/net/usb/cdc_ncm.c: In function ‘cdc_ncm_rx_fixup’:
drivers/net/usb/cdc_ncm.c:922:18: warning: ‘skb’ may be used uninitialized in this function
and I believe it is right. On the line where we
pr_debug("invalid frame detected (ignored)" ...
we are using the local variable 'skb' but nothing has ever been assigned
to that variable yet. I believe the correct fix for that is to use
'skb_in' instead.

The patch provides USB CDC NCM host driver support in the Linux Kernel.
Changes:
drivers/net/usb/cdc_ncm.c:
- initial submission of the CDC NCM host driver;
- verified on Intel 32/64 bit, Intel Atom, ST-Ericsson U8500 (ARM)
- throughput measured over 100 Mbits duplex;
- driver supports 16-bit NTB format only, but it is more than enough for
transfers up to 64K;
- driver can handle up to 32 datagrams in received NTB;
- timer is used to collect several packets in Tx direction
drivers/net/usb/Kconfig:
- a new entry to compile CDC NCM host driver
drivers/net/usb/Makefile:
- a new entry to compile CDC NCM host driver
