The CMUX is not activate in the code

[danguyensw]

I tried to test the CMUX support on TTGO SIM7000G board, and saw the following issues:

• In current code bg96.c file, the CMUX is not activated by default.

   /* CMUX */
    if (bg96_dce->parent.dte->cmux) {
        ESP_LOGI(DCE_TAG, "CMUX setup");
 //         esp_modem_start_cmux(dte); 
 //       DCE_CHECK(bg96_dce->parent.dte->change_mode(bg96_dce->parent.dte, 2) == ESP_OK, "CMUX failed", err_io);
    }

Need to apply this patch to enable the CMUX setup form modem SIM7600 without exception

But later in the esp_modem_dce_setup_cmux function, I got timeout

Hi. There is a line in pppos_client_main.c which is used to enable CMUX mode right after the modem has been initialised.
