Subject: [PATCH 002/003] USB: serial: sierra driver blacklisting

Subject: [PATCH 002/003] USB: serial: sierra driver blacklisting
From: Elina Pasheva <epasheva@...rrawireless.com>

The series of 3 patches modify sierra usb serial driver with
blacklisting of specific non-serial interfaces, bug fixing and
performance improvements.
This is [PATCH 002/003]. This patch depends on [PATCH 001/003].
The following is summary of changes we have made to sierra.c driver in
[PATCH 02/03] dealing with blacklisting:
- Added blacklist for specific non-serial interfaces.
- Removed potential kernel oops from sierra_calc_num_ports() function.
Calling this function twice would likely have caused an oops because the
function releases allocated memory after the first call.
- Modified sierra_probe() function to reflect the changes in
sierra_calc_num_ports().
