I did carefully check that the context for the second patch
(qmi_wwan/cdc_ether: add Dell Wireless 5800 (Novatel E362) USB IDs) was
*not* dependent on the first patch. Hence I did not post them as a
series, but as separate patches, as they should be independently
applicable.

I will resubmit both patches, with "qmi_wwan/cdc_ether: add Dell
Wireless 5800 (Novatel E362) USB IDs" cc-ed to stable@, but this patch
(cdc_ether: use USB_DEVICE_AND_INTERFACE_INFO for Novatel 551L/E362)
only for net-next.
Thanks,
Dan
