Support Dell Wireless DW5819/5818 WWAN devices

[Shrirang Bagul]

[Impact]
Dell Wireless 5819/5818 devices are re-branded Sierra Wireless MC74 series which will by default boot with vid 0x413c and pid's 0x81cf, 0x81d0, 0x81d1,0x81d2.

[Fix]
This patch has already been submitted upstream, reviewed and applied by linux-usb serial maintainer.
  [PATCH] USB: serial: qcserial: add Dell DW5818, DW581
  (See: https://marc.info/?l=linux-usb&m=150703788328773&w=2)

However, to meet Dell Edge Gateway 300x delivery schedule, a sauce patch is being submitted to Xenial SRU.

[Regression Potential]
The patch adds USB VID's/PID's to the usb qcserial driver. Regression potential is minimal.

[Testing]
A test kernel (snap) with this patch was verified by the ODM, no issues were reported.

This bug is used for tracking purposes, please do not triage.

[Ubuntu Kernel Bot (ubuntu-kernel-bot)]

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1721455

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

[Kleber Sacilotto de Souza (kleber-souza)]

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-failed-xenial'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
