Enabling MSA/MBS A-GPS modes isn't working through QMI on EG25-G

IoT Modules LTE Standard Module

If we try to set MSA or MSB A-GPS mode through QMI location api, then the command succeeded, but the selected mode is still ‘standalone’

$ sudo qmicli --loc-get-operation-mode -d /dev/cdc-wdm0  --device-open-proxy
Successfully retrieved operation mode: standalone

$ sudo qmicli --loc-set-operation-mode=msb -d /dev/cdc-wdm0  --device-open-proxy
Successfully set operation mode

$ sudo qmicli --loc-get-operation-mode -d /dev/cdc-wdm0  --device-open-proxy
Successfully retrieved operation mode: standalone

$ sudo qmicli --loc-set-operation-mode=msa -d /dev/cdc-wdm0  --device-open-proxy
Successfully set operation mode

$ sudo qmicli --loc-get-operation-mode -d /dev/cdc-wdm0  --device-open-proxy
Successfully retrieved operation mode: standalone

Is it possible to enable MSA/MSB A-GPS mode through QMI interface? is it firmware bug?

Information about the firmware

mmcli -m any --command='AT+QGMR'

@FelixCheng-Q, is it possible to enable AGPS modes using QMI interface? Are standard location QMI commands are supported?

Reply to my own question.
Enabling A-GPS mode through QMI is working, but when qmicli is used, that all commands has to share the same client-cid and not allocated and released in every command.

#!/bin/sh

VERBOSE=$1
# VERBOSE=-v
COMMON_BASE="$VERBOSE -p -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 "

# register cid
CID=$(qmicli $COMMON_BASE --client-no-release-cid --loc-noop | grep CID | awk '{ print $2}' | sed 's/^.//;s/.$//')
echo client-id $CID

COMMON="$COMMON_BASE --client-no-release-cid --client-cid=$CID"
qmicli $COMMON --loc-get-operation-mode
qmicli $COMMON --loc-get-engine-lock
qmicli $COMMON --loc-get-nmea-types
qmicli $COMMON --loc-set-operation-mode=msb 
qmicli $COMMON --loc-get-operation-mode

qmicli $COMMON --loc-start
qmicli $COMMON --loc-follow-nmea
qmicli $COMMON --loc-stop


# release cid
qmicli $COMMON_BASE --client-cid=$CID --loc-noop

mode changed from standalone to msb and after couple seconds GSV messages contain full sky view.
