[review v2] New 'fibocom' plugin (with a new Intel XMM modem class)

u-blox also does basically the same thing, they're based on Intel XMM
modems but they provide custom AT commands on top (e.g. UACT and URAT
instead of XACT, or UCALLSTAT instead of XCALLSTAT). This generic XMM
implementation could be applied to all modems that don't provide
customized AT commands instead of the original Intel AT+X commands.
