[PATCH] Add support for Mobilcom Debitel USB UMTS Surf-Stick to option driver

This patch adds the vendor and device id for the Mobilcom Debitel UMTS surf
stick (a.k.a. 4G Systems XSStick W14, MobiData MBD-200HU, ...).

To see these ids, you need to switch the stick to modem operation first with the
help of usb_modeswitch. This makes it switch from 1c9e:f000 to 1c9e:9603 and
thus be recognized by the option driver.

In addition, this device seems to ignore setting of RTS/DTR by option_send_
setup and doesn't answer the usb_control_msg leading to a 5 s timeout
(USB_CTRL_SET_TIMEOUT) in userspace open() and other operations. As this
confused several impatient userspace applications like Minicom and ModemManager,
I decided to reduce the timeout to more reasonable 1000 ms. I don't think the
usual USB GSM stick needs longer, so this should be safe.
