Or alternatively how about something like dcbw/06-endpoints?  The only
reason we care about USBIF #0 on Huawei is that they used to always be
the modem/PPP interface.  But obviously that's not always true anymore.
However, we can be reasonably sure that an interface with only two
endpoints is *not* a modem/PPP interface.

In any case, I think something like the patch in the branch ported to
git master would be useful for cases where we don't already have
explicit modem/PPP port tags for various plugins (especially ZTE), and
could be useful for the Huawei bits too.
