Yeah, but qcserial appears to select a different altsetting for the DM
port for Gobi 1000, an altsetting which this particular device does not
have.

I didn't re-read the full thread I referred to earlier, but I think in
it, Dan mentioned Gobi 1000 device requiring firmware to be loaded too. 

So if it's not a G1K device, we probably shouldn't be using qcserial
even if the interface layout happens to match.

Thanks,
