It is very likely that Cellient has replaced the VID with their own and
kept the PID, it is something other mfgrs has done when buying modules
from Qualcomm's series of devices with predefined composition.

The MS Windows driver for 05c6:9025 describes the interfaces as:

MI_00 Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9025
MI_01 Android Composite ADB Interface
MI_02 Qualcomm HS-USB Android Modem 9025
MI_03 Qualcomm HS-USB NMEA 9025
MI_04 Qualcomm Wireless HS-USB Ethernet Adapter 9025
MI_05 USB Mass Storage Device

where the net interface is for QMI/RMNET.
It fully matches the blacklisting Wilken has done for 2692:9025
