Why is that optional? What use is an endpoint, if it's not connected to
something?

Also, if this is being worked on, I'd like to propose the addition of
simpler single-endpoint cases which I've been using with OMAP DSS. So if
there's just a single endpoint for the device, which is very common, you
can have just:

device {
	...
	endpoint { ... };
};

However, I guess that the patch just keeps growing and growing, so maybe
it's better to add such things later =).
