Some RNDIS devices include a bogus CDC Union descriptor pointing
to non-existing interfaces.  The RNDIS code is already prepared
to handle devices without a CDC Union descriptor by hardwiring
the driver to use interfaces 0 and 1, which is correct for the
devices with the bogus descriptor as well. So we can reuse the
existing workaround.
