Why not change usbnet_cdc_update_filter to get the interface number from
dev->intf instead? Then you can export it and reuse it here instead of
creating a copy.  And it will also work for any other usbnet minidriver.

I.e. change this:

static void usbnet_cdc_update_filter(struct usbnet *dev)
{
	struct cdc_state	*info = (void *) &dev->data;
	struct usb_interface	*intf = info->control;

into:

static void usbnet_cdc_update_filter(struct usbnet *dev)
{
	struct usb_interface	*intf = dev->intf;


or simply use dev->intf to deref directly into an interface number, like
you do in your version.  The local 'intf' variable doesn't do much
good here.

This is a nice change. It should be probably done in
usbnet_cdc_update_filter in any case.  Unless there is some reason it
doesn't alreay use usbnet_write_cmd?

As the comment indicates:  There are more 'struct driver_info' variants
here.  Please add .set_rx_mode to all of them, unless you have a reason
not to?
