If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 10a12e57640403f617cc2bb138b9574c6317cc4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2013 01:05:13 +0000 Subject: net: cdc_ncm, cdc_mbim: allow user to prefer NCM for backwards compatibility From: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 1e8bbe6cd02fc300c88bd48244ce61ad9c7d1776 ] commit bd329e1 ("net: cdc_ncm: do not bind to NCM compatible MBIM devices") introduced a new policy, preferring MBIM for dual NCM/MBIM functions if the cdc_mbim driver was enabled. This caused a regression for users wanting to use NCM. Devices implementing NCM backwards compatibility according to section 3.2 of the MBIM v1.0 specification allow either NCM or MBIM on a single USB function, using different altsettings. The cdc_ncm and cdc_mbim drivers will both probe such functions, and must agree on a common policy for selecting either MBIM or NCM. Until now, this policy has been set at build time based on CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_MBIM. Use a module parameter to set the system policy at runtime, allowing the user to prefer NCM on systems with the cdc_mbim driver.
