I used a big hammer, I disabled suspending when the usb_wwan kernel module
got loaded, but the disabling stays in place as the module never gets auto
unloaded. The next time I need to fork powerd think I'll lockout suspend
for one minute when usb_wwan gets loaded then rely on this patch[1] to
handle to handle the rest.
I don't think dbus would react fast enough as modeswitching may need to be
done before dbus could see the interface.
