You're right. We should probably require both bulk in and out endpoints
in usb_wwan port_probe or return -ENODEV.

The (original option) driver was apparently written under the assumption
that either endpoint could be missing. It would handle opening a device
without bulk-in (but would blow up during resume which was likely
implemented later), but not a missing bulk-out in write() (although it
is handled in some places).

But since it also got the missing-end-point test wrong, this was never
a (critical) issue...

The option driver currently does not implement changing altsettings for
any device as you noted. And in fact, this wouldn't even be necessary
for all 19d2:0031. A quick search for lsusb -v output reveals that not
all devices have these altsettings. As we haven't heard of this issue
before, my guess is that the device in question is the odd one.

Would only using interface 3 be sufficient for now? I'd assume so as
this is reported as a regression (which triggers the oops, but the first
two interfaces can obviously never have been used for anything).

I'll cook up a patch for the end-point test during port_probe.

Thanks,
Johan
