Yes, but the driver "will know" (or "may assume") this based on the
QMI_WWAN_FLAG_MUX flag, as long as we are using the driver internal
(de)muxing.  We should be able to automatically set a sane rx_urb_size
value based on this?

Not sure if the rmnet driver currently can be used on top of qmi_wwan?
That will obviously need some other workaround.

And this also requires an additional setup step for user/userspace,
which we should try to avoid if possible.

I'm all for a fully automatic solution.  I don't think rx_urb_size
should be directly configurable. And it it were, then it should be
implemented in the usbnet framework. It is not a qmi_wwan specific
attribute.
