Hi,

I have checked for type, direction and number of endpoints.
But I keep thinking that I have overlooked a way to make broken
endpoint descriptors. Any suggestions?

configuration of endpoints yet present endpoints of the wrong type
or too few or none at all.

Why not use usb_find_common_endpoints() and/or the other helper
functions instead? that's what they were created for.
