[0/4] USB: cdc-acm: handle broken union descriptors

Message

This series adds support for handle broken union descriptors by falling
back to "combined-interface" probing.

The first patch drops some bogus altsetting sanity checks which would
otherwise have had to be needlessly reproduced for consistency. The
final patch drops the driver specific data class define in favour of the
common one.

I'm not adding a CC stable tag since this is technically a new feature
even if it enables a class of radio-scanner devices. I guess we can
consider backporting once this gets some more testing though.

Note that I also included a fourth RFC patch implementing an alternative
approach which could replace the second patch entirely. Depending on the
feedback on that, there may be a v2 of the series.
