Yeah, that's generally what MM does already. I detailed the problem cases in my other mail. It's actually the case that pl2303/ftdi_sio/cp210x are often used as generic USB/serial converters for modems. Hence we "greylist" these drivers and only probe them on- demand. Plus there are quite a few ACM devices that aren't modems either, but also a lot of modems that are ACM. Plus there's modems that aren't in the kernel drivers yet, or aren't in some old kernel driver, so people do the magic 'bind' thing for usb- serial that's everywhere on the internet.
