How on Earth could I have made that mistake is beyond my
comprehension. O_o On second thought, things being beyond one’s
comprehension is probably how bugs are introduced…

Yeah.  In retrospect I’m not sure savings in memory those macros bring
offset time engineers spent trying to understand them.  Damn you clang!

As pointed by Walter, this could be moved outside.  Maybe

	i = ffs->eps_count;
	for (struct ffs_ep *ptr = vla_ptr(vlabuf, d, eps); i; ++ptr, --i)
		ptr->num = -1;
