The WWAN subsystem has been extended to generalize the per data channel
network interfaces management. This change implements support for WWAN
links handling. And actively uses the earlier introduced ip-link
capability to specify the parent by its device name.
The WWAN interface for a new data channel should be created with a
command like this:
ip link add dev wwan0-2 parentdev wwan0 type wwan linkid 2
Where: wwan0 is the modem HW device name (should be taken from
/sys/class/wwan) and linkid is an identifier of the opened data
channel.
