Your driver should only bind to the data interface, but also claim the
control interface (i.e. the reverse of what cdc-acm is doing).
This CDC model doesn't really fit the assumptions of usb-serial core,
but it might be doable. Try returning 1 from the attach callback for the
control interface so that core claims it but doesn't register a tty
device.
