I don't claim to understand the inner details of the endpoint test
device but it looks like this approach should be redesigned.

I don't believe using devices quirks is the best approach to
expose/remove a feature to userspace, this can soon become
unmaintenable.

Maybe you can elaborate a bit more on what the real issue is please ?

Thanks,
Lorenzo
