Hi Sebastian,

thank you for providing the AT and qmicli output.
For the MC74xx/EM74xx it is possible to list the support CA combinations
with AT!LTECA?, perhaps this works for the EM7565 too.

Please see my comments below.

Looks OK to me: AT!GSTATUS? output is consistent with qmicli
--nas-get-lte-cphy-ca-info for the MC7455 and the qmicli output is the
same for the LM940 and the MC7455.

AT!GSTATUS looks OK except for the "LTE SSC1 bw  : Unknown" part.

qmicli output looks OK except for the reported LTE Band values.

Could you please add "qmicli -v -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --nas-get-lte-cphy-ca-info"
output when there are activities on the modem for the LM940 and the EM7565?

With -v the qmicli output also contains the raw TLV contents in hex which
should help Bjørn to add proper qmicli --nas-get-lte-cphy-ca-info support
for the LM940 and the EM7565.

Reinhard
