This does not look complete to me, I think the function is missing
proper length checks. For example, with ENDPOINT0 it reads two byte
msg_id after the htc header and it's not verified that skb really has
that. I did not check if ep_callbacks.rx handlers have proper length
handling, I recommend verifying that also while fixing this.

Also I want to point out that the skb is freed differently based on
endpoint, I did not check why and don't know if it causes:

	if (epid < 0 || epid >= ENDPOINT_MAX) {
		if (pipe_id != USB_REG_IN_PIPE)
			dev_kfree_skb_any(skb);
		else
			kfree_skb(skb);
		return;
	}
