This patch intended to fix an well-knonw issue in old drivers where the endpoint type is taken for granted, which is often triggered by fuzzers. That was the case for this driver [1], and although the fix seems to be correct, it uncovered another issue that leads to a regression [2], if the endpoints of the current interface are checked. The driver makes use of endpoints that belong to a different interface rather than the one it binds (it binds to the third interface, but also accesses an endpoint from a different one). The driver should claim the interfaces it requires, but that is still not the case. Given that the regression is more severe than the issue found by syzkaller, the best approach is reverting the patch that causes the regression, and trying to fix the underlying problem before checking the endpoint types again. Note that reverting this patch will probably trigger the syzkaller bug at some point. This reverts commit 2b9c3eb32a699acdd4784d6b93743271b4970899.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
