PATCH 1/1 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.
