Subject: [PATCH 001/001]: USB: cdc_acm: Fix oops when Droids MuIn LCD is connected

From: Erik Slagter <erik@...gter.name>

The Droids MuIn LCD operates like a serial remote terminal.
Data received are displayed directly on the LCD. This patch
fixes the kernel null pointer oops when it is plugged in.

Add NO_DATA_INTERFACE quirk to tell the driver that "control"
and "data" interfaces are not separated for this device, which
prevents dereferencing a null pointer in the device probe code.

This patch applies to vanilla kernel 2.6.38.2, but I am quite
confident it will apply to any recent kernel. It was created by
Maxin John after I located the problem, slightly modified by me
and tested by me, so blame me if it breaks anything.
