cdc_ether: fix rndis support for Mediatek based smartphones

2019-09-21T05:12:38Z

[ Upstream commit 4d7ffcf3bf1be98d876c570cab8fc31d9fa92725 ] A Mediatek based smartphone owner reports problems with USB tethering in Linux. The verbose USB listing shows a rndis_host interface pair (e0/01/03 + 10/00/00), but the driver fails to bind with [ 355.960428] usb 1-4: bad CDC descriptors The problem is a failsafe test intended to filter out ACM serial functions using the same 02/02/ff class/subclass/protocol as RNDIS. The serial functions are recognized by their non-zero bmCapabilities. No RNDIS function with non-zero bmCapabilities were known at the time this failsafe was added. But it turns out that some Wireless class RNDIS functions are using the bmCapabilities field. These functions are uniquely identified as RNDIS by their class/subclass/protocol, so the failing test can safely be disabled. The same applies to the two types of Misc class RNDIS functions. Applying the failsafe to Communication class functions only retains the original functionality, and fixes the problem for the Mediatek based smartphone. Tow examples of CDC functional descriptors with non-zero bmCapabilities from Wireless class RNDIS functions are: 0e8d:000a Mediatek Crosscall Spider X5 3G Phone CDC Header: bcdCDC 1.10 CDC ACM: bmCapabilities 0x0f connection notifications sends break line coding and serial state get/set/clear comm features CDC Union: bMasterInterface 0 bSlaveInterface 1 CDC Call Management: bmCapabilities 0x03 call management use DataInterface bDataInterface 1 and 19d2:1023 ZTE K4201-z CDC Header: bcdCDC 1.10 CDC ACM: bmCapabilities 0x02 line coding and serial state CDC Call Management: bmCapabilities 0x03 call management use DataInterface bDataInterface 1 CDC Union: bMasterInterface 0 bSlaveInterface 1 The Mediatek example is believed to apply to most smartphones with Mediatek firmware. The ZTE example is most likely also part of a larger family of devices/firmwares. Suggested-by: Lars Melin Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

cdc_ether: flag the Cinterion AHS8 modem by gemalto as WWAN

2018-04-24T07:32:04Z

[ Upstream commit 53765341ee821c0a0f1dec41adc89c9096ad694c ] The Cinterion AHS8 is a 3G device with one embedded WWAN interface using cdc_ether as a driver. The modem is controlled via AT commands through the exposed TTYs. AT+CGDCONT write command can be used to activate or deactivate a WWAN connection for a PDP context defined with the same command. UE supports one WWAN adapter. Signed-off-by: Bassem Boubaker Acked-by: Oliver Neukum Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

qmi_wwan/cdc_ether: add device ID for HP lt2523 (Novatel E371) WWAN card

[ Upstream commit 5b9f57516337b523f7466a53939aaaea7b78141b ] Another rebranded Novatel E371. qmi_wwan should drive this device, while cdc_ether should ignore it. Even though the USB descriptors are plain CDC-ETHER that USB interface is a QMI interface.

cdc-acm: fix NULL pointer reference

2016-04-20T06:42:07Z

commit 29c6dd591bbd592472247441de9fa694acdabae8 upstream. The union descriptor must be checked. Its usage was conditional before the parser was introduced. This is important, because many RNDIS device, which also use the common parser, have bogus extra descriptors. Signed-off-by: Oliver Neukum Tested-by: Vasily Galkin Signed-off-by: David S.
