Yes, ep->dispose() may do just that. In my Aspeed implementation in
fact that's pretty much the first thing it does.

IE, I'm returning all the endpoints to the common pool, thus taking
them out of the gadget EP list.

That said, there could be other reasons why a driver might want to know
about disposal without actually taking all the EPs back (for example a
driver could have some dedicated EPs and some in a pool) so I prefer
the list_del remaining in the back-end.

Cheers,
Ben.
