The new API is intended to provide more flexibility for modern USB slave
hardware (dynamic endpoint configuration).

If you have time to remove the dependency on endpoint devtab entries,
that would be great. Also, could you raise a new bugzilla report at
http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org for your contribution? It's much easier
to track patches and the discussion about them in Bugzilla.

To be clear, the new USB API presented at:

  http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1001024

is not yet formalised, but any future changes required to use the new
API should be independent of work to remove the dependency on endpoint
devtab entries within your MSD function driver package.

Thank you
