2021-11-04core: replace 'whitelist' with 'allowlist' and 'blacklist' with 'blocklist'Aleksander Morgado
We keep the 'WHITELIST-ONLY' filter type name still as an option in --filter-policy=[POLICY], but deprecated and with the better 'ALLOWLIST-ONLY' replacement suggested from now on.
2021-06-16filter: trivial: reorder WWAN rule before the TTY onesAleksander Morgado
2021-06-16filter: remove support for TTY blacklist, TTY greylist and TTY default allowedAleksander Morgado
These lists were used in the corresponding TTY_BLACKLIST and TTY_MANUAL_SCAN_ONLY filter rules, in the LEGACY and PARANOID filter types, which are no longer supported. The DEFAULT_ALLOWED filter rule made sense only in the LEGACY filter type, and therefore it is also now removed, leaving the DEFAULT_FORBIDDEN fallback rule exclusively. In other words, there is now no way to ask ModemManager to implicitly allow TTY ports; the only way to do that is by explicit making the TTY ports fall in one filter rule that would allow them.

2020-11-06filter: simplify CDC_WDM rule to a subsystem-only USBMISC checkAleksander Morgado
This is not just a rename of the rule, we also now avoid doing an explicit check on the port name as well, and we rely on subsystem checks only; i.e. the same logic applied for net ports. The port candidate rules already do a 'cdc-wdm*' device name check so it shouldn't be a big deal.
2019-08-29udev: remove ID_MM_PLATFORM_DRIVER_PROBE tagAleksander Morgado
This tag is completely redundant because users can whitelist the platform TTY ports to use with the more generic ID_MM_DEVICE_PROCESS tag, which is part of the explicit whitelist filter rule.
2019-08-29udev: rename ID_MM_DEVICE_MANUAL_SCAN_ONLY to ID_MM_TTY_MANUAL_SCAN_ONLYAleksander Morgado
The udev tag that allows flagging devices that MAY be modems (e.g. USB<->RS232 adapters) is only applicable to TTY devices, so explicitly specify that in the tag name as well.
2019-08-29udev: repurpose ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE and new MM_FILTER_RULE_EXPLICIT_BLACKLISTAleksander Morgado
Until now the ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE udev tag was being used in the internal blacklist of devices shipped by ModemManager when running in either DEFAULT or PARANOID filter modes. The name of the tag is extremely misleading because it doesn't really make the full device be ignored, the tag only applied to TTY ports. This commit repurposes the tag so that it applies to ANY kind of port (e.g. TTY, NET, cdc-wdm...) and also to any kind of filter type (i.e. also applicable in STRICT mode). The internal blacklist shipped by ModemManager, which should NOT be used in STRICT mode, uses a new tag name, ID_MM_TTY_BLACKLIST. The new ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE tag is therefore much more usable and its name is really meaningful. If there are users or third-party projects adding their own udev rules with the ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE tag name, they should have no problem as the new rule is more restrictive than the old one.

2012-08-20plugin: new filters for forbidden product IDs/stringsAleksander Morgado
Plugins may specify that specific vendor & product IDs or strings are not supported. This is useful when plugins need to specify that they support all devices of a given vendor except for some specific ones.
2012-08-06plugin: let plugins request Icera support checks and Icera based filtersAleksander Morgado
2012-08-06plugin: new `MM_PLUGIN_CUSTOM_INIT' propertyAleksander Morgado
We let plugins execute some custom initialization in the ports, specified by a `MMAsyncMethod'.
2012-08-06plugin: new `MM_PLUGIN_FORBIDDEN_DRIVERS' propertyAleksander Morgado
It allows plugins to specify whether they cannot support ports handled by specific drivers.
2012-08-06plugin: renamed `custom-init' property to `custom-at-probe'Aleksander Morgado
The `custom-at-probe' property is just to modify the way we check for AT port support.
2012-08-06core: merge `MMPluginBase' and `MMPlugin'Aleksander Morgado
There's no real point in maintaining a separate `MMPlugin' interface, as all the plugins will inherit from `MMPluginBase', so just merge them and simplify everything.
