The driver is naughty, it binds to the 3rd interface (bInterfaceNumber
2) but actually pokes into the 2nd interface with endpoint 0x84 without
actually claiming it. Your check expects that the endpoint belongs to
the interface that the driver binds to and thus fails.

Yes, the driver needs to claim both interfaces and when checking use the
right one. I will revert the patch for now given that it causes
regression and we can try fixing it again.

Thanks.
