This isn't really polishing... Rather the contrary ;)

The attached patch set is a sort of working proof-of-concept.  It needs
to be cleaned up by someone understanding all the G-stuff :) And it
should have a lot more error checking.  Testing for EXT_QMUX support
instead of timing out would be nice for example.  And the library
integration could be made nicer.  Maybe dynamically loading libmbim from
libqmi to prevent the hard dependency?

The libmbim patch is Collin's latest version with only context changes.

The remaining two libqmi patches provide generic QMI access over MBIM.
FCC auth is only one possibility.  Many other QMI requests work too:

The above was done while the modem was in MBIM mode:
