The PLMN selection was reset when calling network-register, thus
rendering the sepcific selection of a carrier unapplied.
Set the PLMN selection after executing network-register. This seems to
cause the modem to re-select the carrier eventually.
That being said, qmi does allow the parameterization of the
network-register to include dpecific PLMN settings, however this is
currently not implemented in uqmi.
