[net-next] net: wwan: iosm: add rpc interface for xmm modems

  Add a new iosm wwan port that connects to the modem rpc interface. This
interface provides a configuration channel, and in the case of the 7360, is
the only way to configure the modem (as it does not support mbim).

The new interface is compatible with existing software, such as
open_xdatachannel.py from the xmm7360-pci project [1].

Doesn't the AT channel offer that possibility? what is the status of
7360 support without this change?

RPC sounds more like a generic method than an actual XMM-specific
protocol, isn't there a more precise name for that protocol? if not,
maybe XMMRPC is more appropriate?

Several initialization functions must be called through the RPC channel
to bring up the 7360. Without this initialization the modem is not
functional beyond responding to simple AT commands. After initialization
through this interface the modem works as expected.

Because of this, the 7360 is currently nonfunctional beyond responding
to a limited set of AT commands. As for the 7560, my understanding is that
it is currently functional, and this interface simply supplements the MBIM
interface.

This is the only name I've seen it referred to by. I think XMMRPC/xmmrpc
will have to work.

Thanks for the feedback. Should I go ahead and submit a V2?

Ok, beyond xmm7360-pci project, it would be good to have this protocol
integrated into an existing modem manager.

Yes, please.
