 Update as requested by GNATS:
 
 As I have updated the system with the MC7304 to NetBSD 10.0 a pullup-10 of
 the u3g(4) changes from this ticket would be sufficient for me.
 
 The limitation mentioned in this forum thread
 https://forum.sierrawireless.com/t/mc7430-receiving-reading-sms-while-connected-with-ppp-under-freebsd-pfsense/31543
 also applies to MC7304 devices on NetBSD.
 
 While umb(4) could help to solve the above limitation it unfortunately puts
 the device in low power mode after a ifconfig umb0 down which is incompatible
 with my use case. Please feel free to close PR 56145 as a result.
 
 To reduce potential side effects for further umb(4) development on NetBSD
 it might help to apply the Aug 9 diff to if_umb.c before closing PR 56145.
 
 Thanks,
 Reinhard
