That works, yes; but that already worked before didn't it? i.e. in
ModemManager you could select "lte" *capability* and that would use
SSP to set "lte" only; or you could select "gsm-umts" capability and
then we would allow 2G+3G with WCDMA acquisition order preference
changes (and different allowed/preferred mode combinations exposed).
That was the special case we had to handle with "lte" only vs
"gsm-umts" only; in the former there would only be a single "4g" mode
allowed "none" preferred combination; while in the latter we would
have "2g,3g" allowed with 3 preferred combinations: "2g", "3g" and
"any". For the "lte|gsm-umts" capability, there was no way to "prefer
lte" or "prefer umts" or "prefer gsm", which is why no such
combinations were added for allowed/preferred modes.

$ sudo qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm1 --nas-set-system-selection-preference="lte"

$ sudo qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm1 --nas-get-signal-info
[/dev/cdc-wdm1] Successfully got signal info
LTE:
RSSI: '-67 dBm'
RSRQ: '-8 dB'
RSRP: '-97 dBm'
SNR: '18,0 dB'

$ sudo qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm1 --nas-set-system-selection-preference="umts"

$ sudo qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm1 --nas-get-signal-info
[/dev/cdc-wdm1] Successfully got signal info
WCDMA:
RSSI: '-77 dBm'
ECIO: '-2,5 dBm'

(single tech now works again; it didn't with the original patch)
