If you build and install libmbim yourself, there is a build option
(-Dmbim_username) that can be used to select the username that will
own the cdc-wdm ports exposed by the cdc-mbim driver.
If that option is not provided, as in a normal distribution
installation, then only root can talk to the MBIM control port (either
through the proxy or directly).
