OK, so should I integrate something like this in the patch and resubmit, this time including netdev in the discussions? : diff --git a/drivers/net/usb/qmi_wwan.c b/drivers/net/usb/qmi_wwan.c index 546dca5..576ce30 100644 --- a/drivers/net/usb/qmi_wwan.c +++ b/drivers/net/usb/qmi_wwan.c @@ -65,6 +65,9 @@ static int qmi_wwan_bind(struct usbnet *dev, struct usb_interface *intf) struct usb_cdc_ether_desc *cdc_ether = NULL; u32 required = 1 << USB_CDC_HEADER_TYPE | 1 << USB_CDC_UNION_TYPE; u32 found = 0; + atomic_t *pmcount = (void *)&dev->data[1]; + + atomic_set(pmcount, 0); /* * assume a data interface has no additional descriptors and @@ -209,6 +212,9 @@ static int qmi_wwan_bind_shared(struct usbnet *dev, struct usb_interface *intf) { int rv; struct usb_driver *subdriver = NULL; + atomic_t *pmcount = (void *)&dev->data[1]; + + atomic_set(pmcount, 0); /* collect all three endpoints */ rv = usbnet_get_endpoints(dev, intf); Maybe also include all the known Gobi devices in the ID list? Or is that too risky? People may be using the out-of-tree Gobi driver and this will never be fully compatible with userspace for that one. They can of course blacklist this driver if they want to, but still..
