Is Sierra's MC8305 supported by qmi_wwan (WITHOUT USING Gobi driver) in QMI-mode?

No need to worry about that. "Gobi" is an out-dated Qualcomm marketing
thingy (aka "brand name") which described a specific device
configuration and set of features.  It became less and less specific
with new generations, until they dropped it for the even more generix
"Snapdragon" marketing thingy.  The important part for us is that all
these have QMI.

The term is used in qcserial and qmi_wwan because Gobi 1k and 2k had
specific USB interface layouts, which allowed us to generalize the probe
code for those devices.  It doesn't mean that you need any other driver.
qmi_wwan supports both Gobi and non-Gobi devices. The only difference
is the USB interface matching macro.
