The problem was in drivers/usb/core/config.c in function usb_parse_interface:
---
num_ep = num_ep_orig = alt->desc.bNumEndpoints;
...
len = sizeof(struct usb_host_endpoint) * num_ep;
alt->endpoint = kzalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL);
---

num_ep can be 0, as it was in my case, so following patch makes this
situation more obvious
and clear.
