Yes, technically speaking, this detects whether the node is an endpoint
and is connected. As you mentioned, there's little use in unconnected
endpoints here, as nobody would attempt to match them.

ACPI has a remote-endpoint property, but has no endpoint nodes. I wonder
what the remote-endpoint points to...
