Can you please clarify this for me?

An endpoint function by itself wouldn't stop an endpoint controller.

I assume that some *operation* on an endpoint function currently stops
the endpoint controller, but that operation should not stop the
controller?

I guess the operation is an "unbind" that detaches an EPF device from
an EPC device?
