The reason I kept the old behavior when "wMaxPacketSize == 0" is because
it's a special case. In this case a gadget driver wants to use a whole
available MaxPacketSize of claimed endpoint. Since it doesn't know
what MaxPacketSize may be in a particular UDC endpoint, it just
relies on epautoconf core and gets what's available.
So the behavior looks like the opposite of claiming a smallest endpoint, but
rather using as big as possible MaxPacketSize provided by the endpoint.

We even may want to implement a 'claim biggest endpoint' policy for the
"wMaxPacketSize == 0" case.

Looking at gadget drivers sources, it seems there is no such usecase
in any driver (at least with simple 'grep' over sources), so I'm not sure
if we need to worry about it at all, that's why I decided to keep an old
behavior here.
