This also becomes a mess for the qmi-wwan driver which has the rmnet/qmi
interface hardcoded to 4 so that driver will also need a workaround.
Quectel seems to have completely missed the reason why usb id's should
be unique and not reused for a different product or a different
interface layout, there is already a workaround in qmi-wwan for their
previous EC-20 card...
My opinion is that the option and qmi-wwan drivers should support EP06
in the factory delivery configuration and not in a configuration the
user has selected with a Quectel proprietary AT cmd.
Can you give some good reason for disabling an interface instead of
letting it stay but not use it if you don't need it?


Thanks
