Public bug reported:

Dell rebrands modems from different vendors, including Novatel, Sierra
and Ericsson. Until now we defaulted to the Novatel plugin when a Dell
device was found, but then we're breaking newer MBIM Sierra Dell-branded
modems, as we don't have MBIM support in the Novatel plugin.

So, we should try to improve the probing in the Novatel, Sierra and MBM
plugins, so that they probe also Dell devices, and we'll then try to
match via AT-probing which plugin should be handling the Dell device.

Could we backport this patch  into trusty? Thanks!
