By convention (according to doc) if function does not provide get_alt() callback composite framework should assume that it has only altsetting 0 and should respond with error if host tries to set other one. After commit dd4dff8b035f ("USB: composite: Fix bug: should test set_alt function pointer before use it") we started checking set_alt() callback instead of get_alt(). This check is useless as we check if set_alt() is set inside usb_add_function() and fail if it's NULL. Let's fix this check and move comment about why we check the get method instead of set a little bit closer to prevent future false fixes.
