Thanks for the feedback.  Hmm...yes, I get what you're saying.  The
EPfiles and func is basically being set/cleared together, so the above
change wouldn't be any different than checking for ep != epfile->ep.
Let me see if there's another way we can address the issue this change
is trying to resolve.

In short, the change is basically trying to resolve an issue in an
application that has a separate thread handling the IO ops.  When the
USB cable is disconnected, the application would expect for this IO
thread to be completed and exit gracefully, and restarting it on the
next connect.  However, since we are stuck in the read() it can not
proceed further.

I guess in these situations, we should utilize the O_NONBLOCK file
parameter?
