The introduction of rpdev->ept in this check was done by Henri, as he
was implementing rpmsg_char support for virtio_rpmsg:

b2599ebffb2d ("rpmsg: virtio_rpmsg_bus: fix announce for devices without endpoint")

It's there because the rpmsg_device will not have a primary endpoint and
as such there's no communication channel to announce. We could add this
check in each implementation of announce, but I think it's a common
issue.

I think we want to remove the ept check in virtio_rpmsg, to reduce that
part of the duplication at least.

That might make sense, let's see what Wendy comes up with related to
rpmsg_char and supporting Linux-side services, as I suspect that this
handling might be affected.
