Then you can export it and reuse it here instead of creating a copy. And it will also work for any other usbnet minidriver.
Well, I just wanted to limit my changes to the minimum, as I lack experience with kernel development. Where should I declare usbnet_cdc_update then? Would linux/usb/cdc.h the right place? Is it enough to do EXPORT_GPL_SYMBOL(usbnet_cdc_update_filter) in cdc_ether.c for it to be loaded automatically from cdc_ncm.c?
I.e. change this:
static void usbnet_cdc_update_filter(struct usbnet *dev)
{
struct cdc_state *info = (void *) &dev->data;
struct usb_interface *intf = info->control;
into:
static void usbnet_cdc_update_filter(struct usbnet *dev)
{
struct usb_interface *intf = dev->intf;
or simply use dev->intf to deref directly into an interface number, like
you do in your version. The local 'intf' variable doesn't do much
good here.Ok, done.

It should be probably done in usbnet_cdc_update_filter in any case. Unless there is some reason it doesn't alreay use usbnet_write_cmd?
I don't know of any, so I'll keep it changed.

Please add .set_rx_mode to all of them, unless you have a reason not to?
I simply lack access to the hardware to test and I didn't want to break anybody else's hardware. In any case, the change seems quite safe, so I modified them all too. I will for your comments before sending the updated version of the patches.
