In a few places here this check is completely unnecessary. All it does is verify that the device does have an endpoint 0 and the the type of the endpoint matches the type of the pipe. Well, every USB device always has an endpoint 0, and it is always a bidirectional control endpoint. Therefore a simple static check is all you need: There's no point calling usb_pipe_type_check() when the pipe is of the form usb_{snd|rcv}ctrlpipe(dev, 0).
In short, this check should be removed completely; it does nothing.
Fair enough, but I think those removals should be in another patch.
thanks,
