cdc_ether: Identify MBM devices by GUID in MDLM descriptor
This patch removes vid/pid for Ericsson MBM devices from the whitelist set of
devices. The MBM devices are instead identified by GUID.
In order for cdc_ether to handle these devices the GUID in the MDLM descriptor
is tested. All MBM devices currently handled by cdc_ether as well as future
CDC Ethernet MBM devices can be identified by the GUID.
This is the same solution used in Carl Nordbeck's mbm driver,

I post this as RFC to get feedback on however cdc_ether is the correct place to
do the binding, or if it should be done in a separate driver, e.g. zaurus.
