There is not strong reason to have both WWAN and WWAN_CORE symbols,
Let's build the WWAN core framework when WWAN is selected, in the
same way as for other subsystems.
This fixes issue with mhi_net selecting WWAN_CORE without WWAN and
reported by kernel test robot:
Kconfig warnings: (for reference only)
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for WWAN_CORE
Depends on NETDEVICES && WWAN
Selected by
- MHI_NET && NETDEVICES && NET_CORE && MHI_BUS

This driver simulates a set of WWAN device with a set of AT control
ports. It can be used to test WWAN kernel framework as well as user
space tools.

The MHI WWWAN control driver allows MHI QCOM-based modems to expose
different modem control protocols/ports via the WWAN framework, so that
userspace modem tools or daemon (e.g. ModemManager) can control WWAN
config and state (APN config, SMS, provider selection...). A QCOM-based
modem can expose one or several of the following protocols:
- AT: Well known AT commands interactive protocol (microcom, minicom...)
- MBIM: Mobile Broadband Interface Model (libmbim, mbimcli)
- QMI: QCOM MSM/Modem Interface (libqmi, qmicli)
- QCDM: QCOM Modem diagnostic interface (libqcdm)
- FIREHOSE: XML-based protocol for Modem firmware management
(qmi-firmware-update)
Note that this patch is mostly a rework of the earlier MHI UCI
tentative that was a generic interface for accessing MHI bus from
userspace. As suggested, this new version is WWAN specific and is
dedicated to only expose channels used for controlling a modem, and
for which related opensource userpace support exist.

This change introduces initial support for a WWAN framework. Given the
complexity and heterogeneity of existing WWAN hardwares and interfaces,
there is no strict definition of what a WWAN device is and how it should
be represented. It's often a collection of multiple devices that perform
the global WWAN feature (netdev, tty, chardev, etc).
One usual way to expose modem controls and configuration is via high
level protocols such as the well known AT command protocol, MBIM or
QMI. The USB modems started to expose them as character devices, and
user daemons such as ModemManager learnt to use them.
This initial version adds the concept of WWAN port, which is a logical
pipe to a modem control protocol. The protocols are rawly exposed to
user via character device, allowing straigthforward support in existing
tools (ModemManager, ofono...). The WWAN core takes care of the generic
part, including character device management, and relies on port driver
operations to receive/submit protocol data.
Since the different devices exposing protocols for a same WWAN hardware
do not necessarily know about each others (e.g. two different USB
interfaces, PCI/MHI channel devices...) and can be created/removed in
different orders, the WWAN core ensures that all WAN ports contributing
to the 'whole' WWAN feature are grouped under the same virtual WWAN
device, relying on the provided parent device (e.g. mhi controller,
USB device). It's a 'trick' I copied from Johannes's earlier WWAN
subsystem proposal.
This initial version is purposely minimalist, it's essentially moving
the generic part of the previously proposed mhi_wwan_ctrl driver inside
a common WWAN framework, but the implementation is open and flexible
enough to allow extension for further drivers.
