Test result for bandwidth problem:
Sending 0x1f mask (diag command: 0x7d0500001f000000) and running LTE
speedtest on the device, both option and simple can dump more than 80Mbps.
The CRC of diag packets is OK at this high speed, so it seems that
there is no message loss. I think this bandwidth is enough.

For the flow control problem, it seems the SetControlLineState request
send by option (usb_wwan) has no effect on the device. Both with and
without this request the diag port works the same.

Hope this can help you decide which driver to choose :)
