Subject: [PATCH v2] Revert "Input: bcm5974 - check endpoint type before
 starting traffic"

This patch intended to fix an well-knonw issue in old drivers where the
endpoint type is taken for granted, which is often triggered by fuzzers.

That was the case for this driver [1], and although the fix seems to be
correct, it uncovered another issue that leads to a regression [2], if
the endpoints of the current interface are checked.

The driver makes use of endpoints that belong to a different interface
rather than the one it binds (it binds to the third interface, but also
accesses an endpoint from a different one). The driver should claim the
interfaces it requires, but that is still not the case.

Given that the regression is more severe than the issue found by
syzkaller, the best approach is reverting the patch that causes the
regression, and trying to fix the underlying problem before checking
the endpoint types again.

Note that reverting this patch will probably trigger the syzkaller bug
at some point.

This reverts commit 2b9c3eb32a699acdd4784d6b93743271b4970899.
