EC25 mounting problem, firmware upgrade possibly needed?

In addition to my previous question, I’ve noticed that the QFlash PDF mentions using some sort of module specific driver at the host.

Linux currently assigns “option” driver to the EC25, as you can see below.

Should I replace option driver with this other Quectel driver? Where can I get it?

EDIT: I’ve found this other repository with a Quectel USB driver, however it’s last commit is dated late 2018.

EDIT 2: Code in repository above does not seem to compile properly, unfortunately. I’d appreciate if somebody gave me the right code.
