Re: [MM/QMI] Unable to select firmware when there is no SIM

Do you have any preference/suggestion on how we should approach this problem? I guess we may need to add additional checks in the code where it currently assumes a modem object in a fully initialized state.

I guess we can allow that, yes. The modem itself would be in 'failed'
state when there is no SIM though; the only thing we have to do is to
let the Firmware interface get initialized even if we're in 'failed' state.
