net: cdc_ncm: fix 64bit division build error
The upper timer_interval limit is arbitrary and much higher
than anything usable in the real world. Reducing it from 15s
to ~4s to make the timer_interval fit in an u32 does not make
much difference. The limit is still outside the practical
bounds.
This eliminates the need for a 64bit timer_interval, fixing a
build error related to 64bit division:

net: cdc_ncm: use sane defaults for rx/tx buffers
Lots of devices request much larger buffers than reasonable. This
cause real problems for users of hosts with limited resources.
Reducing the default buffer size to 16kB for such devices is
a reasonable trade-off between allowing them to aggregate traffic
and avoiding memory exhaustion on resource restrained hosts.

net: cdc_ncm/cdc_mbim: adding NCM protocol statistics
To have an idea of the effects of the protocol coalescing
it's useful to have some counters showing the different
aspects.
Due to the asymmetrical usbnet interface the netdev
rx_bytes counter has been counting real received payload,
while the tx_bytes counter has included the NCM/MBIM
framing overhead. This overhead can be many times the
payload because of the aggressive padding strategy of
this driver, and will vary a lot depending on device
and traffic.
With very few exceptions, users are only interested in
the payload size. Having an somewhat accurate payload
byte counter is particularly important for mobile
broadband devices, which many NCM devices and of course
all MBIM devices are. Users and userspace applications
will use this counter to monitor account quotas.
Having protocol specific counters for the overhead, we are
now able to correct the tx_bytes netdev counter so that
it shows the real payload

net: cdc_ncm: set reasonable padding limits
We pad frames larger than X to maximum size for devices which
don't need a ZLP after maximum sized frames. This allows the
device to optimize its transfers for one fixed buffer size.
X was arbitrarily set at 512 bytes regardless of real buffer
maximum, causing extreme overheads due to excessive padding of
larger tx buffers. Limit the padding to at most 3 full USB
packets, still allowing the overhead to payload ratio of 3/1.

Many newer NCM and MBIM devices will request a maximum tx

any of the simplicity for these devices, by simply using the
true negotiated count in when calculated the maximum NTH and

net: cdc_ncm: use ethtool to tune coalescing settings
Datagram coalescing is an integral part of the NCM and MBIM
protocols, intended to reduce the interrupt load primarily
on the device end of the USB link. As with all coalescing
solutions, there is a trade-off between buffering and
interrupts.
The current defaults are based on the assumption that device
side buffers should be the limiting factor. However, many
modern high speed LTE modems suffers from buffer-bloat,
making this assumption fail. This results in sub-optimal
performance due to excessive coalescing. And in cases where
such modems are connected to cheap embedded hosts there is
often severe buffer allocation issues, giving very noticeable
performance degradation .
A start on improving this is going from build time hard
coded limits to per device user configurable limits. The
ethtool coalescing API was selected as user interface
because, although the tuned values are buffer sizes, these
settings directly control datagram coalescing.

net: cdc_ncm/cdc_mbim: rework probing of NCM/MBIM functions
The NCM class match in the cdc_mbim driver is confusing and
cause unexpected behaviour. The USB core guarantees that a
USB interface is in altsetting 0 when probing starts. This
means that devices implementing a NCM 1.0 backwards
compatible MBIM function (a "NCM/MBIM function") always hit
the NCM entry in the cdc_mbim driver match table. Such
functions will never match any of the MBIM entries.
This causes unexpeced behaviour for cases where the NCM and
MBIM entries are differet, which is currently the case for
all except Ericsson devices.
Improve the probing of NCM/MBIM functions by looking up the
device again in the cdc_mbim match table after switching to
the MBIM identity.
The shared altsetting selection is updated to better
accommodate the new probing logic, returning the preferred
altsetting for the control interface instead of the data
interface. The control interface altsetting update is moved
to the cdc_mbim driver. It is never necessary to change the
control interface altsetting for NCM.

("net: cdc_ncm: remove ncm_parm field") which introduced
a NCM specification violation, causing setup errors for

The NCM specification require that many of the NCM specific
control reuests are sent only while the NCM Data Interface
is in alternate setting 0. Reverting the commit ensures that
we follow this requirement.

net: cdc_ncm, cdc_mbim: allow user to prefer NCM for backwards compatibility
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.

net: cdc_mbim: adding MBIM driver
The CDC Mobile Broadband Interface Model (MBIM) specification
extends CDC NCM by
- removing the redundant ethernet header from the point-to-point
USB channel
- adding support for multiple IP (v4 and/or v6) sessions multiplexed
on the same USB channel
- adding a MBIM control channel encapsulated in CDC
- adding Device Service Streams (DSS), which are non IP generic data
streams multiplexed on the same USB channel as the IP sessions
MBIM devices are managed using the dedicated control channel, and no
data will flow on the data channel until a control session has been
established. This driver has no knowledge of MBIM control messages.
It just exports the control channel to a /dev/cdc-wdmX character
device for userspace management applications. Such an application is
therefore required to use this driver.
This patch implements basic MBIM support, reusing the NCM and WDM driver
APIs, currently limited to IP sessions with SessionID 0. DSS and
multiplexed IP sessions are not yet supported.
