net: cdc_ncm: workaround for missing CDC Union
Adding support for the MBIM mode in some Sierra Wireless devices. Some Sierra Wireless firmwares support CDC MBIM but have no CDC Union funtional descriptor. This violates the MBIM specification, but we can easily work around the bug by looking at the Interface Association Descriptor instead. This is most likely what Windows uses too, which explains how the firmware bug has gone unnoticed until now. This change will not affect any currently supported device conforming to the NCM or MBIM specifications, as they must have the CDC Union descriptor.
