The QMI management protocol is delegated to userspace using a
/dev/cdc-wdmX character device.  So you need a userspace component to
test the driver, like for example libqmi. See 
http://sigquit.wordpress.com/2012/08/20/an-introduction-to-libqmi/ for a
short intro.

This library is packaged in Debian.  Don't know the status of other
distros. 

The driver supports dynamic device IDs, so if you have qcserial bound to
all serial ports, and there is a QMI interface with no driver bound yet,
then testing should be as easy as

 modprobe qmi_wwan
 echo "0af0 8120" >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/qmi_wwan/new_id
 qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --dms-get-manufacturer
