or maybe
	ep = kzalloc(sizeof(*ep) + buffer_size, mem_flags);

The current function also tests the return of ep slightly backwards.

static struct oz_endpoint *oz_ep_alloc(int buffer_size, gfp_t mem_flags)
{
	struct oz_endpoint *ep =
		kzalloc(sizeof(struct oz_endpoint)+buffer_size, mem_flags);
	if (ep) {
		INIT_LIST_HEAD(&ep->urb_list);
		INIT_LIST_HEAD(&ep->link);
		ep->credit = -1;
		if (buffer_size) {
			ep->buffer_size = buffer_size;
			ep->buffer = (u8 *)(ep+1);
		}
	}
	return ep;
}

Perhaps more typical would be:

static struct oz_endpoint *oz_ep_alloc(int buffer_size, gfp_t mem_flags)
{
	struct oz_endpoint *ep;

	ep = kzalloc(sizeof(*ep) + buffer_size, mem_flags);
	if (!ep)
		return NULL;

	INIT_LIST_HEAD(&ep->urb_list);
	INIT_LIST_HEAD(&ep->link);
	ep->credit = -1;
	if (buffer_size) {
		ep->buffer_size = buffer_size;
		ep->buffer = (u8 *)(ep + 1);
	}

	return ep;
}

Maybe buffer_size should be size_t too to avoid
possible negative values.
