That's correct. Trying to use two drivers at once will necessarily lead
to the situation where one drivers shutdown is called from the other
drivers shutdown. And the fact that one of the drivers is a usbnet
minidriver complicates this a bit.
But I believe most of it should be OK now. I tried my best to let the
two drivers share as little as possible. The only shared state is in
the power management code, which have to access the active/idle state of
both drivers.

Yes, intfdata is per interface, but in the case of cdc_ether (and
probably other similar minidrivers) there are two interfaces pointing to
the *same* usbnet private data.
What about the situation where disconnect is called simultaneously for
both interfaces? Or can't that happen? If it can, then we'll do
driver->disconnect(intf1) driver->disconnect(intf2)
dev = usb_get_intfdata(intf1) dev = usb_get_intfdata(intf2)
dev->driver_info->unbind() dev->driver_info->unbind()
net = dev->net net = dev->net
free_netdev(net) free_netdev(dev->net)
where "dev" and "net" will be pointing to the same private data and
netdevice.
I assume that is what the code above is trying to protect against. But
I could be wrong. That has happened before, believe it or not :-)
