Just a quick update on this for you and anyone else interested: The
qmi_wwan driver in Linux 3.6 will support dynamic device IDs.  This will
hopefully simplify testing of new QMI devices by enabling initial driver
support without patching and rebuilding the driver.

Usage is as always with dynamic IDs:

 modprobe qmi_wwan
 echo "vid pid" >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/qmi_wwan/new_id

Note that the driver after this will attempt to bind to *any* available
interface on the device, using "combined interface" mode.  Successful
binding does not imply QMI support.  That will still have to be tested
using e.g. qmicli.

"CDC ECM like" split data/control interfaces is not supported with
dynamic IDs.  I might add automatic detection of that later if
necessary.
