Well... I expect them to be as sensible as any other vendor. And I
expect docs to be intendend as guidance only ;-)

Right. Wrt the violation, I think that train left a decade ago.

So Sierra do follow the same pattern we've seen on other X55 devices:
ff/00/00 - AT
ff/ff/30 - QCDM
See commits
accf227de4d2 ("USB: serial: option: Add support for Quectel RM500Q")
d6c1ddd938d8 ("USB: serial: option: add Quectel EM160R-GL")
for other examples.
This obviously doesn't make any difference if your configuration is the
only one. But I believe that is unlikely. There are probably ways the
layout can be changed, even if currenly not documented. The advantage
of class/subclass/protocol matching to function is that it works
regardless of the number of functions and their interface number.
