Subject: [PATCH 2/3] cdc_ether: allow vendor specific data interface if control interface is vendor specific

From: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@...k.no>

Some vendors, like Huawei, use the vendor specific class code all over the
place even for devices which otherwise conform pretty well to the CDC ECM
specification.  This allows such devices to be supported merely by
adding them to the device specific whitelist.
