[hcflinux] hcf linux driver

[Marc Boucher]

What is the device ID of the modem?

On devfs-based systems, the device node will not be registered if
initialization of the hardware fails, which would happen if you
were using an unsupported HCF modem (such as an old Rockwell 127A:
model or very new Conexant one with SmartDAA).
