I am not sure why. The code is there since the first commit in a decade
ago. But I tend to agree with you.

In a quick search for urb->hcpriv and urb->ep->hcpriv, based on the
usage in core/hcd.c, it seems to me that urb->hcpriv should not be
changed in each controller driver, but I see both have been used in most
controller drivers. I will leave this to others to educate me.
