[ 16/47] cdc_ether: Ignore bogus union descriptor for RNDIS devices

From: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2012-05-18 23:17:14
Also in: lkml

3.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bj��rn Mork <bjorn@mork.no>

commit 6eddcb4c82883451aec3be1240f17793370fa62f upstream.

Some RNDIS devices include a bogus CDC Union descriptor pointing
to non-existing interfaces.  The RNDIS code is already prepared
to handle devices without a CDC Union descriptor by hardwiring
the driver to use interfaces 0 and 1, which is correct for the
devices with the bogus descriptor as well. So we can reuse the
existing workaround.
