I had some trouble getting network strengh and access technology the
standard way on Quectel EC21. It does work - but only kind of. I did not
get URCs when I am sure I should. This way through CIEV, CIND and CMER
is also not documented in Quectel documentation, so I suspect this to be
unsupported.
This is now changed to the "quectelish" way of gettings those values and
this does work more fine-grained and reliable on the Quectel EC21.
An upcoming netreg driver for uBlox modems will need to override the
probe method in order to set itself up, but for further functionality
the "generic" AT implementations are sufficient. The easiest way to do
this is to just set up a vtable with a custom probe implementation and
defer all other methods to the common/generic methods.
The problem is that the AT methods are not actually exported. This
generic AT functionality was not intended to be hooked directly into
other drivers.
This patch exports all the methods of the atmodem network-registration
driver implementation so that they can be used as generic/common
implementations for other drivers.
The 'Toby L2'-specific vendor type is used only to prevent the CMER
command from attempting to set mode '3'. For all u-blox models, mode
'3' is just an alias for mode '1'. As such, mode '1' can be used in
place of mode '3', removing the model-specific quirk in favour of a
vendor-specific quirk.
With this change, the L2-specific vendor type is no longer needed.
There are a large number of files in the tree that define _GNU_SOURCE
despite not actually using features hidden behind this flag. This patch
removes all these definitions in one fell swoop...
The driver vtables are read-only structures. This patch declares them as
'const' allowing the compiler to (optionally) put them in the RELRO
section. RELRO pages may be marked as read-only by the linker after
the relocations have been done ensuring that they aren't inadvertently
or maliciously altered at runtime.
Besides exceptions below, act like normal U-Blox devices.
gprs-context: don't set auth for TOBY L2. U-Blox Toby L2
doesn't support PAP/CHAP APN auth method.
atmodem: TOBY L2 supports only CMER mode 1. Also chaged original
mode variable to ind, which is a more appropriate name.
mode is what is being set first.
Some modems might see an interim +CREG: or +CGREG: notification when
querying the supported modes.
Aux: > AT+CFUN=1\r
Aux: < \r\nOK\r\n
Aux: > AT+CREG=?\r
Aux: < \r\n+CREG: 2\r\n
Aux: < \r\n+CREG: (0-2)\r\nOK\r\n

To make this work, skip to the first line with an actual range value.
It seems the that XCIEV notification actually returns results from XCSQ
and not the described range 0-7. This makes this notification rather
useless to report signal strength.
