This was written on 2006 and the single-receive URB statement hasn't
been true for the last decade or so.

Not necessarily true anymore even if the buffer sizes may need to be
increased somewhat to support dumping modem traffic.
And note that qcaux has always used the generic implementation (also
when it only used a single URB).

It's actually only used by some Sierra modems managed by that driver,
but yeah, those should be Qualcomm based.

I think we decided not to use qcserial unless it matches one of the
fixed GOBI port layouts.

So while I'm not sure bandwidth is really a problem, I still tend to
agree that we should add this one to the option driver for now as that
is how we handle (non-GOBI) Qualcomm modems and their QCDM ports.
