Will modem inhibition truly release MBIM port ?

No, we added a new command.

The image file was sent to the module fragment by fragment.
Without the mbim-proxy, the transmission process is fluent.
But when using the mbim-proxy, it will return "MBIM protocol error:
FragmentOutOfSequence" after sending the first request(fragment).
It is weird because we get the out-of-sequence error when we just try to
send the first fragment.
Is it possible that the mbim-proxy is not correctly configured for such
transmission ?

Thanks,
Edward Chang.
