To distinguish between the modem types which need different
initialization constants, by storing the appropriate pointer in
usb_device_id.driver_info. Currently there are two known types for
cxacru, and I seem to remember Matthieu also needed this, so that was
the main reason why we moved away from using .driver_info for usbatm own
purposes.
