+Subject: [PATCH] cdc_ncm: Add support for moving NDP to end of NCM frame
+
+NCM specs are not actually mandating a specific position in the frame for
+the NDP (Network Datagram Pointer). However, some Huawei devices will
+ignore our aggregates if it is not placed after the datagrams it points
+to. Add support for doing just this, in a per-device configurable way.
+While at it, update NCM subdrivers, disabling this functionality in all of
+them, except in huawei_cdc_ncm where it is enabled instead.
+We aren't making any distinction between different Huawei NCM devices,
+based on what the vendor driver does. Standard NCM devices are left
+unaffected: if they are compliant, they should be always usable, still
+stay on the safe side.
+
+This change has been tested and working with a Huawei E3131 device (which
+works regardless of NDP position), a Huawei E3531 (also working both
+ways) and an E3372 (which mandates NDP to be after indexed datagrams).
+
+V1->V2:
+- corrected wrong NDP acronym definition
+- fixed possible NULL pointer dereference
+- patch cleanup
+V2->V3:
+- Properly account for the NDP size when writing new packets to SKB

+Subject: [PATCH] cdc_ncm: Add support for moving NDP to end of NCM frame
+
+NCM specs are not actually mandating a specific position in the frame for
+the NDP (Network Datagram Pointer). However, some Huawei devices will
+ignore our aggregates if it is not placed after the datagrams it points
+to. Add support for doing just this, in a per-device configurable way.
+While at it, update NCM subdrivers, disabling this functionality in all of
+them, except in huawei_cdc_ncm where it is enabled instead.
+We aren't making any distinction between different Huawei NCM devices,
+based on what the vendor driver does. Standard NCM devices are left
+unaffected: if they are compliant, they should be always usable, still
+stay on the safe side.
+
+This change has been tested and working with a Huawei E3131 device (which
+works regardless of NDP position), a Huawei E3531 (also working both
+ways) and an E3372 (which mandates NDP to be after indexed datagrams).
+
+V1->V2:
+- corrected wrong NDP acronym definition
+- fixed possible NULL pointer dereference
+- patch cleanup
+V2->V3:
+- Properly account for the NDP size when writing new packets to SKB
