[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH] uqmi: fix raw-ip mode for newer lte modems

[Koen Vandeputte]

Some newer LTE modems, like the MC7455 or EC25-E do not support
"802.3" mode, and will stay in "raw-ip" regardless of the mode being
set.

In this case, the driver must be informed that it should handle all
packets in raw mode. [1]

This commit fixes connectivity issues for these devices.

Before:

[ Node 5 ] udhcpc -i wwan0
udhcpc: started, v1.27.2
udhcpc: sending discover
udhcpc: sending discover
udhcpc: sending discover

After:

[ Node 5 ] udhcpc -i wwan0
udhcpc: started, v1.27.2
udhcpc: sending discover
udhcpc: sending select for 100.66.245.226
udhcpc: lease of 100.66.245.226 obtained, lease time 7200
udhcpc: ifconfig wwan0 100.66.245.226 netmask 255.255.255.252 broadcast
+
udhcpc: setting default routers: 100.66.245.225
