Subject: [PATCH] option: Do not try to bind to ADB interfaces

Some modems now use the Android Debug Bridge to provide a debugging
interface, and some phones can also export serial ports managed by the
"option" driver.

The ADB daemon running in userspace tries to use USB interfaces with
bDeviceClass=0xFF, bDeviceSubClass=0x42, bDeviceProtocol=1

Prevent the option driver from binding to those interfaces, as they
will not be serial ports.

This can fix issues like:
