I stand corrected. A document I found for the Sierra AirCard Watcher (Qualcomm Gobi Anywhere Edition) does indeed list the following parts as supported: Gobi 3000, MC7700, MC7750, MC8790. So that may confirm that the 8790 is a Gobi-class device and should also support QMI. And clearly the K3565-Z also supports QMI as you've found. I guess we can assume anything based on the MSM6290 and MSM6246 support QMI if the firmware engineers bothered to expose it. The first references to QMI that I found were the Android kernel sources from 2008 (the rmnet driver) and all those phones were based on the MSM72xx chips. Unless somebody from Qualcomm clarifies, I guess I wouldn't expect anything earlier than 2008/2009 to support QMI. Actual Gobi devices debuted in mid-2008 and did have QMI. But Qualcomm was also producing chips long after 2008 in older families (MSM68xx) that didn't support QMI, only DIAG.
