I have done some extensive testing with the Fibocom MA510-GL triggering 
automatic registration using +COPS=0 in a loop over many hours and days. 
In most cases, we get the +CEREG: 3 -> +CEREG: 5,... transition within 
10 seconds.

I'll experiment a little with this and post back to this thread when I 
have come up with a satisfactory workaround. Then we can discuss the 
upstream-ability :)
