descriptor scans snd_usbmidi_get_ms_info() validates the internal MIDIStreaming endpoint descriptor size
before using baAssocJackID[], but the descriptor walker can still return a class-specific endpoint
descriptor whose bLength exceeds the remaining bytes in the endpoint-extra scan. That leaves later
