Hi Greg:
I am carl, software engineer from a Chinese company ' Quectel Wireless Solutions Co., Ltd'.
Chinese name is Yinzhangcheng. So English name carl.yin.
My company’s products are LTE/5G modules base on QUALCOMM's chipset, like MDM9607/MDM9640/SDX24/SDX55...etc.

QMI_WDA_SET_DATA_FORMAT is from QUALLCOM's QMI protocol.
Like USB NET MBIM protocol, ' QMI protocol ' also can transfer multiple IP Packets in one URB.
The benefit is reduce USB interrupts, so can reduce CPU loading.
QUALLCOM call it as QMAP, full name is QUALCOMM Multiplexing and Aggregation.
The means of 'dl-datagram-max-size' in QMAP is 'Maximum size in bytes of a single aggregated packet allowed on downlink."
For example, MDM9607 support up to 4KB, SDX20 support up to 16KB, SDX55 support up to 31KB.
The 'dl-datagram-max-size' can by support is depend the chipset.
But the userspace can use ' QMI_WDA_SET_DATA_FORMAT' to Negotiates an new size(less than or equal to 'dl-datagram-max-size').
Most of case, the userspace will use the max 'dl-datagram-max-size', for benefit of 'reduce CPU loding'.

Hi Daniele: I also understand the "limitation", do you mean need to send "USB ZERO length PACKET'.
The function of MTU is not same as rx_urb_size, for example we can set rx_urb_size to 31KB, but MTU is still 1500B.
