ep_index upper bound is known to be in range as EP_CTX_PER_DEV is 31,
and ep_index = fls(u32 value)  - 1 - 1; 

We can change to use xhci_get_virt_ep(), but this would be more useful
earlier in xhci_handle_cmd_config_ep() where we touch the ep before
calling ring_doorbell_for_active_rings()

Also note that this codepath is only used for some prototype
xHC controller that probably never made it to the market about 10 years ago.
