The callback given in qmi_device_new() isn't supposed to be called
automatically on unplug/replug. Actually, libqmi doesn't do any
monitoring of whether the port is available or gone; if it goes away
the QmiDevice will stop working (e.g. the qmi-proxy will return errors
to the QmiDevice in your application).

If you need to handle the case of unplug/replug, I'd suggest you use
GUdev to do such monitoring, so that whenever the /dev/cdc-wdm port is
gone, you trigger a re-creation of the QmiDevice from scratch.
