What if gadget will not assign any value to driver_data (just like
Gadget Zero do)? Endpoint will be seen as not used, and autoconfig will
return it more than one time. That's what I call leaky solution.

Information if endpoint is claimed or not is its internal state and
should not depend on assigning non-null value to driver_data field.
