net: wwan: Allow WWAN drivers to provide blocking tx and poll function
At the moment, the WWAN core provides wwan_port_txon/off() to implement blocking writes. The tx() port operation should not block, instead wwan_port_txon/off() should be called when the TX queue is full or has free space again. However, in some cases it is not straightforward to make use of that functionality. For example, the RPMSG API used by rpmsg_wwan_ctrl.c does not provide any way to be notified when the TX queue has space again. Instead, it only provides the following operations: - rpmsg_send(): blocking write (wait until there is space) - rpmsg_trysend(): non-blocking write (return error if no space) - rpmsg_poll(): set poll flags depending on TX queue state Generally that's totally sufficient for implementing a char device, but it does not fit well to the currently provided WWAN port ops. Most of the time, using the non-blocking rpmsg_trysend() in the WWAN tx() port operation works just fine. However, with high-frequent writes to the char device it is possible to trigger a situation where this causes issues. For example, consider the following (somewhat unrealistic) example: # dd if=/dev/zero bs=1000 of=/dev/wwan0p2QMI dd: error writing '/dev/wwan0p2QMI': Resource temporarily unavailable 1+0 records out This fails immediately after writing the first record. It's likely only a matter of time until this triggers issues for some real application (e.g. ModemManager sending a lot of large QMI packets). The rpmsg_char device does not have this problem, because it uses rpmsg_trysend() and rpmsg_poll() to support non-blocking operations. Make it possible to use the same in the RPMSG WWAN driver by extending the tx() operation with a "nonblock" parameter and adding an optional tx_poll() callback. This integrates nicely with the RPMSG API and does not break other WWAN drivers. With these changes, the dd example above blocks instead of exiting with an error.
