Sorry, to clarify...in the current baseline, the Harmony 900 gets picked 
up by the cdc_ether driver by this generic line in cdc_ether.c:

 	USB_INTERFACE_INFO(USB_CLASS_COMM, USB_CDC_SUBCLASS_MDLM,
 			USB_CDC_PROTO_NONE),
 	.driver_info = (unsigned long)&wwan_info,

The intent of my patch is to blacklist the Harmony 900 from cdc_ether and 
whitelist it in zaurus.
