Do they, but they don't establish an endpoint -> function ownership link.

Except in different configurations. Actually it seems multiple configurations 
are not well supported today. The infrastructure is there, but function 
drivers allocate their endpoints globally at the gadget level and not at the 
configuration level.

In that case I would have to loop over all functions for the active 
configuration (easy) and parse all descriptors for the correct speed to locate 
endpoint descriptors. That should be possible, would the overhead be ok ?
