Subject: [PATCH] net: usb: qmi_wwan: allow qmimux add/del with master up
Mime-version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Git-commit: 6c59cff38e66584ae3ac6c2f0cbd8d039c710ba7
Patch-mainline: v5.12-rc3
References: git-fixes

There's no reason for preventing the creation and removal
of qmimux network interfaces when the underlying interface
is up.

This makes qmi_wwan mux implementation more similar to the
rmnet one, simplifying userspace management of the same
logical interfaces.
