Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Return ENODEV instead of EINVAL when trying to open ACM device.

This is required, otherwise a user will get a EINVAL while opening a
non-existing device, instead of ENODEV.

This is what I get with this patch applied now instead of an "Invalid
argument".

cascardo@...pa:~$ cat /dev/ttyACM0
cat: /dev/ttyACM0: No such device
cascardo@...pa:~$
