From: Takashi Iwai tiwai@suse.de
commit e901b9873876ca30a09253731bd3a6b00c44b5b0 upstream.
This patch adds a new helper function to perform a sanity check of the given URB to see whether it contains a valid endpoint. It's a light- weight version of what usb_submit_urb() does, but without the kernel warning followed by the stack trace, just returns an error code.
Especially for a driver that doesn't parse the descriptor but fills the URB with the fixed endpoint (e.g. some quirks for non-compliant devices), this kind of check is preferable at the probe phase before actually submitting the urb.
