My modem has the expected PID (0x68c0).

I will not fight strongly for this patch. My motivation was mostly to
clean up, since it looks a bit messy keeping an additional interface +
cdc-wdm device around which will never be used (and can be avoided).

Interface 11 does not reply on my device as well.
