A number of Huawei 3G and LTE modems implement a CDC NCM function,
including the necessary functional descriptors, but using a non
standard interface layout and class/subclass/protocol codes.
These devices can be handled by this driver with only a minor
change to the probing logic, allowing a single combined control
and data interface. This works because the devices
- include a CDC Union descriptor labelling the combined
interface as both master and slave, and
- have an alternate setting #1 for the bulk endpoints on the
combined interface.
The 3G/LTE network connection is managed by vendor specific AT
commands on a serial function in the same composite device.
Handling the managment function is out of the scope of this
driver. It will be handled by an appropriate USB serial
driver.

Hello David,
This patch had to touch more than just the device id table to
deal with the combined NCM interface on these devices. The
changes will not affect any currently supported devices because
(ctx->data != ctx->control) always is true for those.
I am therefore requesting that this patch is put in the stable
queue like other device additons.
I guess it may be too late for v3.7, but FWIW I have verified
that the patch applies cleanly to both the current net-next/master
and to net/master, and will not cause merge conflicts either way.
I have also verified that it applies cleanly to the v3.6.6 stable
release.
