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!
