[alsa-devel] [PATCH 3/9] ALSA: caiaq: Add a sanity check for invalid EPs

As syzkaller spotted, currently caiaq driver submits a URB with the
fixed EP without checking whether it's actually available, which may
result in a kernel warning like:
  usb 1-1: BOGUS urb xfer, pipe 3 != type 1
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1150 at drivers/usb/core/urb.c:449

   ....

This patch adds a sanity check of validity of EPs at the device
initialization phase for avoiding the call with an invalid EP.
