Subject: [68/89] USB: cdc-wdm: Avoid hanging on interface with no USB_CDC_DMM_TYPE

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@...k.no>

commit 15699e6fafc3a90e5fdc2ef30555a04dee62286f upstream.

The probe does not strictly require the USB_CDC_DMM_TYPE
descriptor, which is a good thing as it makes the driver
usable on non-conforming interfaces.  A user could e.g.
bind to it to a CDC ECM interface by using the new_id and
bind sysfs files.  But this would fail with a 0 buffer length
due to the missing descriptor.

Fix by defining a reasonable fallback size: The minimum
device receive buffer size required by the CDC WMC standard,
revision 1.1
