Ick, no way, that's horrible.

If the phone switches to modem mode, does it show up as a ACM class
device?

Is there any way to dynamically detect this?  We don't want it to be a
module parameter, as we will never know to set it.

Surely the configuration of the device looks different somehow?  If it
reports itself as an ACM device, we should be able to detect that,
right?
