Add to support new switch command for new Huawei USB dongles. This prevents people getting access to the storage device if they want. It also means you need to change kernel not simply a user space file to add support for different new identifiers. So it seems a large step backwards to me. Why not just teach udev the new switch command then it'll work as a udev update on all sorts of existing kernels as well as being the kind of small safe change you can get into the entprise distributions ?
