The plugin gets 'any' reported by the interface, and then, if it doesn't
have a specific command to just say 'any mode', it will map
'any==supported' and try with the list of supported modes. In this case,
the 'cs' was given in supported but not handled afterwards by the plugin.

The 'cs' mode (circuit switched) was carried from some plugins which
allow configuring this kind of connection; instead of assuming 'cs' is
suported when '2g' is supported, I'll remove the 'cs' mode from all
those modems which don't really allow specifying it. It's actually
something I meant to do this week.
