I think the class is assigned by the kernel/driver.

correct: the same device works differently in the two systems...  in
the sense of the class not assigned.
The device boots in the same way, the difference is not in the device.

I have checked, and there aren't for this device, which was working
properly already with the kernels 4.19.x.
I haven't submitted any for this modem, but if it turns out that
patches are needed, I will be glad to submit them.
Only at the moment I have no idea about what is going wrong.

I think in Yocto they have the habit of adding patches without
changing the version number.
But in any case I will start to migrate the system... it will take
some time, thou.
I feel, however, that this won't solve the issue at hand.

Any idea why the class is not assigned?
