No excuse for crashing of course, but that's one of the sickets
descriptor sets I've seen today. Who got the bright idea to put the
communication class functional descriptors on the data class interfaces?
And what's with the second data interface?  How is the host supposed to
make any use of that when both(!) the CDC Union descriptors refer to
interface 0 and 1 only?  Not that we can use those union descriptors for
much anyway since we have to guess the relationship between control and
data interface before we can get to it...

So I'm not surprised that this is unexpected by the driver.  We just
need to figure out how to ignore the noise and carry on.

But looking at the driver, it looks like that is exactly what it should
do.  This device has the  NO_UNION_NORMAL quirk so normal probing is
skipped and we will just use interfaces 0 and 1.  Which is the only sane
thing to do given the above mess...

Don't understand how it could crash.
