That is the error message, the error message is printed by the
endpoint function, on the endpoint device. On the host side, nothing
happens; the test program just hangs because the driver waits
indefinitely. With the change I proposed, the test program completes
the test and will display "NOT OKAY" as normal when a test fails.

I will add this.

Thanks.
