If you allow them to be numbered, then the driver must be able to use any
endpoint number. This provides no additional information on the hardware
while it is more difficult to parse.

That would require reg property in endpoints --- which is not defined here.

I think all new drivers pretty much define it in a similar way (while the
old definitions did not specify it explicitly).
