Sure, and I mentioned that as an alternative, another would be checking
for a control interface with three endpoints directly.

My fear is that any change in this direction risk introducing regression
if there are devices out there with broken descriptors that we currently
happen to support by chance. Then again, probably better to try to
handle any such breakage if/when reported.
