[ 17/98] net: cdc_ncm, cdc_mbim: allow user to prefer NCM for backwards compatibility

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no>

[ Upstream commit 1e8bbe6cd02fc300c88bd48244ce61ad9c7d1776 ]

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.
