libmbim 1.24.0 slowing down MM startup

[Amol Lad]

Hi Aleksander,

I'm testing 1.14.0 and finding that libmbim has significantly slowed down MM startup. I'm using EM7565 in MBIM mode. Please see below snippets from log which highlight the delay. As you can see "couldn't load carrier config; couldn't load SUPL; assistance data" are causing this slowness.

MM 1.12.6 or MM 1.14.0 + libmbim 1.24.0

MM 1.12.6 + libmbim 1.22.0

Jul  7 11:38:45 [6529]: <info>  QMI-based capability and mode switching support enabled

Bearer connection is also slow with libmbim 1.24.0. If I switch to 1.22.0 in below then delay between registered and connect is not seen
