Why not change usbnet_cdc_update_filter to get the interface number from
dev->intf instead? 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.

This is a nice change. 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.

As the comment indicates:  There are more 'struct driver_info' variants
here.  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.
