net/usb device additions for -stable

net/usb device additions for -stable

[Bjørn Mork]

I looked quickly through the list of added devices in the range
v3.6..net/master and tried to cherry-pick them into the current 3.0,
3.2, 3.4 and 3.6 stable trees.  There weren't really that many. The
result was:

# for stable-3.6:
af1b85e usb/ipheth: Add iPhone 5 support
c6846ee net: qmi_wwan: adding more ZTE devices
bbc8d92 net: cdc_ncm: add Huawei devices

# for stable-3.4:
af1b85e usb/ipheth: Add iPhone 5 support

# for stable-3.2:
af1b85e usb/ipheth: Add iPhone 5 support

# for stable-3.0:
af1b85e usb/ipheth: Add iPhone 5 support



For completeness, these three patches were also applied after 3.6 but are
not in the list above for the given reasons:

42d94dc net: qmi_wwan: adding Huawei E367, ZTE MF683 and Pantech P4200
 - does not apply cleanly to any stable relase. I'll send a backport
   if/when I get around to it.

66dc81e asix: Adds support for Lenovo 10/100 USB dongle.
 - already applied to stable-3.6 and does not apply to anything earlier

f8295ec qmi_wwan/cdc_ether: move Novatel 551 and E362 to qmi_wwan
 - already applied to stable-3.6 and does not apply to anything earlier

The iPhone 5 change applied cleanly in all cases so I added that one.
The others did not.

Could you respin them for me and I'll queue them up for the next batch
I send out?

Thanks.

Sorry about that. They did in when I tested them, but the conditions
must have been different.

I don't think there is much point anymore, as Greg has announced the
last 3.6 stable: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/14/441

I'll come back with a set for 3.7 stable when there is something to add
instead.
