I'm sure I will.  That's really nice.  Great idea!

For anyone not having looked at this yet: Ilya uses the existing usbmon
capabilities of wireshark, so this dissector can be used regardless of
how you communicate with your QMI device. cdc-wdm, qcqmi (Gobi driver),
or virtual machine passthrough - anything can be snooped.

Would be even nicer though if there was some way to (semi-)automatically
generate the message and TLV tables from existing data in e.g. libqmi,
to avoid having yet another place where these must be entered
manually...
