That document predates the qmi-wwan driver in the kernel. Note that
this driver has an ID table entry for interface 4 of this device. Right
now, whichever driver is probed first claims that interface. I haven't
actually tried using the QMI interface, though.

Right, some userspace tools complain about this.

Isn't this a common theme with most USB vendors, especially wireless things?

Regardless, setting the NCTRL flag should be harmless.
