It is indicated in return code, but the problem is that this generates
noise and wastes debugging time. The problem I was seeing manifested
itself as disabling disabled EPs and desync of EP state between core
and UDC driver. The patch avoids the noise and makes the code obvious.
(This check was there at some point in time, BTW.)
