Subject: [PATCH 4.4 38/60] USB: serial: sierra: fix bogus alternate-setting assumption

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

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

From: Johan Hovold <johan@...nel.org>

commit 16620b483eaf7750413bae472f4363b6b959fcaa upstream.

Interface numbers do not change when enabling alternate settings as
comment and code in this driver suggested.

Remove the confusing comment and redundant retrieval of the interface
number in probe, while simplifying and renaming the interface-number
helper.

Fixes: 4db2299da213 ("sierra: driver interface blacklisting")
