That's also semantically different, right?
As I understand it, what we should be checking here is whether the
direction of the request matches the direction previously specified in
USB_RAW_IOCTL_EP_ENABLE, not whether the hardware would be capable of
using the endpoint in the requested direction if it had been
configured for that direction?
But I might also be misunderstanding what's going on - it's not like
I've looked at a spec for this or anything like that, I'm just kinda
guessing...
