I wonder why this check is necessary. The XillyUSB device presents bulk 
endpoints only, and the driver never tries anything else.

Actually, if this warning appears in a real-life scenario, it definitely 
indicates a serious problem. So I think the warning should be visible, 
rather than silenced like this.

I realize that a code sanitizer has been triggered, but is there more to 
this?
