These messages are completely harmless and normal for Sierra Wireless
devices. They use the interface number to identify the type of
function, causing this mismatch between the number of interfaces and the
inteface numbers. Boy, that looks weird in writing :)

Ref this discussion we had a few years ago:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-usb/msg77499.html

No, I didn't expect you to remember that :)

I suspect the device is an EM7455? If so, then it does work fine with
runtime PM, as long as we're talking USB2. Not sure about USB3 runtime
PM though. Cannot test it. The Lenovo laptop I got with one of these
modems has disabled the USB3 link on the m.2 modem slot for some reason.
