For a library API perspective, it's not a bad idea to add hooks in libmbim,
which would allow an application to implement custom device services using
libmbim.

The extensibility in MBIM is unavoidable for practical reasons but does
come at a cost, IMHO. Let's hope subsequent MBIM specifications would
standardize more common services, so that we don't end up having many
versions of the same service, like we did to AT.
