Description-en: Firmware loader for Qualcom GobiUSB chipsets
gobi_loader is a firmware loader for Qualcomm Gobi USB chipsets. These
devices appear in an uninitialised state when power is applied and require
firmware to be loaded before they can be used as modems. gobi_loader adds a
udev rule that will trigger loading of the firmware and make the modem usable.
