Subject: [PATCH 3.16 138/370] usb: gadget: composite: Test get_alt()
 presence instead of set_alt()

3.16.42-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Krzysztof Opasiak <k.opasiak@...sung.com>

commit 7e4da3fcf7c9fe042f2f7cb7bf23861a899b4a8f upstream.

By convention (according to doc) if function does not provide
get_alt() callback composite framework should assume that it has only
altsetting 0 and should respond with error if host tries to set
other one.

After commit dd4dff8b035f ("USB: composite: Fix bug: should test
set_alt function pointer before use it")
we started checking set_alt() callback instead of get_alt().
This check is useless as we check if set_alt() is set inside
usb_add_function() and fail if it's NULL.

Let's fix this check and move comment about why we check the get
method instead of set a little bit closer to prevent future false
fixes.
