[PATCH] broadband-modem-mbim: parse nw_error in register_state_set_ready only if MBIM_STATUS_FAILURE

[Lech Perczak]

Hi Aleksander,

Any update on the patch? :)
In the meantime I got response from Telit that they won't fix the original problem which made me create this patch.

With kind regards,
Lech
