Bug Description
[Impact]
* the new modemmanager packages bring in DW5816 supporting.
* These modemmanager packages is needed to support new devices.
[Test Case]
* install modemmanager and it's dependencies from -proposed
libmbim-glib4:amd64 1.14.0-
libmbim-proxy 1.14.0-
libmm-glib0:amd64 1.6.4-1ubuntu0.
libqmi-glib5:amd64 1.16.2-
libqmi-proxy 1.16.2-
modemmanager 1.6.4-1ubuntu0.
* reboot and try WWAN function to see if any regression there.
* perform general dogfooding of its reverse dependencies (network-manager, gnome-control-

* Every new upstream release can potentially break existing dependencies if any of the required features have been changed/removed, so besides regular testing a general dogfooding session with the new modemmanager is advised.
[Original Description]
We would like to upgrade xenial to 1.6 series so it supports the same modems as the modem-manager snap, specifically some new Sierra modems (HL8548 and others from HL series, popular in IoT devices). These are the packages that would need to be updated:
libmbim: 1.12.2-2ubuntu1 in xenial, 1.14.0 in snap
libqmi: 1.12.6-1 in xenial, 1.16.2 in snap
modemmanager: 1.4.12-1ubuntu1 in xenial, 1.6.2 in snap
This is also related to bug #1693756 which includes a subset of patches of what would be updated.
