Bug description:
[ Impact ]
Some of the Lenovo X13s laptop SKUs, based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon
8cx, come with an integrated 4G/5G modem. The modem on the X13s is
manufactured by foxconn, and is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon X55
PCIe modem.
Here is the output of mmcli -m 0 on an X13s
Hardware | manufacturer: foxconn
| model: Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 5G
| firmware revision: T99W175.F0.6.0.0.6.OG.005
| 045 1 [Feb 03 2023 10:00:00]
All Linux kernel drivers are upstream to support this data modem, and
included in the Ubuntu kernel for mantic. The support for this modem is also
merged in modemmanager, including the fcc-unlock script for this modem model
(https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/-/commit/ac06052b97cc02e60ae1ed7a551727b3c14d6a22).
We are however missing the symlink for the specific PCIe ID link
reported on the X13s for this modem, which is shown by lspci as:
0004:01:00.0 Wireless controller [0d40]: Foxconn International, Inc.
T99W175 5G Modem [Snapdragon X55] [105b:e0c3]
This is already fixed upstream with
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-
broadband/ModemManager/-/commit/8061bcd9c03c26946b6fa3356313e069203f8838.
With the backport of this patch the modem on the X13S can be enabled
by laptop users using the fcc-unlock generic guidelines. And mobile
broadband is working out of the box. Without it, the modem won't work.
[ Test Plan ]
Without the ability to FCC unlock this modem model, any attempt to
enable/start the modem will fail / stall, as detailed on
https://modemmanager.org/docs/modemmanager/fcc-unlock/.
With this backport/fix, the Ubuntu Mobile network settings/UI can be
used to enabled the modem, unlock the SIM card and connect to the
4G/5G network (assuming the user has a SIM card with an appropriate
data plan).
[ Where problems could occur ]
The patch is fairly isolated change. The purpose of this change is to
create an additional symlink in /usr/share/ModemManager/fcc-
unlock.available.d/ whose name is the PCIe ID of this specific device.
PCIe IDs are documented here: https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-
lkddb/MHI_BUS.html.
Also links in this folder have no effect on the system, unless the
user manually enable the appropriate fcc unlock script, typically by
adding a link in /etc/ModemManager/fcc-unlock.d/ to the appropriate
modem model script.
[ Other Info ]
I am working on a debdiff, and will upload shortly
