libqmi is based on GLib, and therefore it needs a "main loop of
events" to be running. The qmi_device_new() method will be completed
asynchronously, which means that the result of the operation will be
reported via an event in the main loop of events.

You should see the qmi_device_new() completing once you replace the
while(1) code with g_main_loop_new() and g_main_loop_run().
