When adding the ID of a composite device dynamically to a driver, all
hitherto unbound interfaces are bound to this driver regardless of their
class, which may not be intended.
The patch adds the option to tell the targeted interface class to a driver
via the "new_id" attribute, in addition to the device ID.
Also, it appends the ABI documentation accordingly.
Example:
$ echo "1234 2a2a ff" >/sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id
will bind only vendor-specific interfaces to the 3G driver.

+Description:
+ Writing a device ID to this file will attempt to

+ This may allow the driver to support more hardware than
+ was included in the driver's static device ID support

+ idVendor idProduct bInterfaceClass.
+ The vendor ID and device ID fields are required, the
+ interface class is optional.

+ # echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo/new_id
