In trusty, I have finished the patches, I separated the previous
patches based on the upstream commit, I merged these together for
convenient in first version, I back-ported modemmanager from master
branch(1.5) to trusty(1.0), some data structure was changed which I have
updated in the backported patches.

 For Wily, we need to backport these patch from master branch(1.5) to
1.4 which is used by wily, I'm still working on it.

And now we just try find a better way which let the upstream cherry-
picks from upstream(1.5) to 1.4, not sure if it is possible yet, :)

Title:
  novatel: improve probing for Dell branded modems

Bug description:
  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!
