I have also noticed that on resume, the cdc_acm module seems to think
there is a problem:

[69937.127857] cdc_mbim 2-4:1.0: cdc-wdm1: USB WDM device
[69937.128063] cdc_mbim 2-4:1.0 wwan0: register 'cdc_mbim' at usb-0000:00:1=
4.0-4, CDC MBIM, 52:ce:08:1e:a7:19
[69937.129148] cdc_acm 2-4:1.2: This device cannot do calls on its own. It =
is not a modem.
[69937.129188] cdc_acm 2-4:1.2: ttyACM0: USB ACM device

I have to unload cdc_acm and cdc_mbim and load cdc_mbim. I'll try to
blacklist cdc_acm to see if there is some enhancement on this front.
