[PATCH v2 1/3] cdc_ether: allow vendor specific data interface if control interface is vendor specific

From: Bjørn Mork <hidden>
Date: 2012-01-15 06:40:35
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest, usb cdc ethernet driver, usb networking drivers · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds, Oliver Neukum

Some vendors, like Huawei, use the vendor specific class code all over the
place even for devices which otherwise conform pretty well to the CDC ECM
specification.  This allows such devices to be supported merely by
adding them to the device specific whitelist.

Changes from v1: Removed an unintentional debug message change.  Thanks to
Joe Perches for pointing that out
