The qcserial driver fails to expose the .tiocmget and .tiocmset methods available from usb_wwan. These methods are required by ioctl commands dealing with the modem control signals DTR, RTS, etc. With these methods not set ioctl calls intended to control the DTR state will fail. For example, pppd drops and raises DTR in preparation to dialing the modem, which handles the case of the modem already being connected by making it hang up and return to command mode. DTR control being unavailable will lead to a protracted failure to connect as the modem will be stuck in a state not responsive to command. I have tested that with this patch the described case is handled successfully. There is an analogous method for .ioctl available from usb_wwan (as used in option.c) but I conservatively omitted that for lack of familiarity.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
