[PATCH 0/3] Allow to specify a type for devices that have no uevent file/info

These patches add "FallbackDeviceTypes" configuration option that can be used
to define a specific ConnMan device type for an interface that has no uevent
file or uevent file is empty. This will help in "black box" development where
the devices are not properly configured in kernel by allowing to use a specific
plugin with the device, for instance.

This FallbackDeviceType addition has been in Sailfish OS production releases
since 2020. No regression was detected when testing with latest AntiX Linux,
with or without any fallback device configuration. Dropping of invalid device
types was added for this patch set.

The work for making these patches available for ConnMan upstream has been
funded by NLnet foundation grant NGI0 Commons Fund:
https://nlnet.nl/commonsfund.
