I'm not asking about the patch itself. I'm asking about the commit
log because "an EP function shouldn't stop EP controller" doesn't
quite make sense in English.

I suspect it should say something like "unbinding one endpoint
function of a multi-function device from the endpoint controller
should not stop the controller."

But I don't know enough about EPF/EPC binding to know whether that
makes sense either.
