You have done this in almost all functions but personally I'm really
concern about this change.

By convention function should free all allocated resources when exiting
with non 0 code. Endpoints are some kind of resources, they are
"allocated" using usb_ep_autoconfig() and if you are not going to use
them because error occurred you should free the using
usb_ep_autoconfig_release(). Moreover, you have done this in source sink
function so why not do this in all other?
