Subject: [PATCH] USB: serial: xr: fix NULL-deref on disconnect

Claiming the sibling control interface is a bit more involved and
specifically requires adding support to USB-serial core for managing
either interface being unbound first, something which could otherwise
lead to a NULL-pointer dereference.

Similarly, additional infrastructure is also needed to handle suspend
properly.

Since the driver currently isn't actually using the control interface,
we can defer this for now by simply not claiming the control interface.

That solved the issue with XR21V1410:

[ 8176.265862] usbcore: registered new interface driver xr_serial
[ 8176.265885] usbserial: USB Serial support registered for xr_serial
[ 8176.265921] xr_serial 2-1:1.1: xr_serial converter detected

[ 8186.513340] xr_serial ttyUSB0: xr_serial converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0
