We would like the gadget drivers to all with all controllers, this would
likely be better to ask from controller driver for N streams but work if
we get less ? Something like:

struct usb_gadget_ops {
	...
	request_stream(struct usb_gadget *g, int max_streams);
};

if (usb_endpoint_xfer_bulk(desc)) {
	if (ep_comp) {
		num_req_streams = usb_gadget_request_streams(gadget,
			ep_comp->bmAttributes & 0x1f);

		/* now patch ep_comp descriptor */
		ep_comp->bmAttributes = num_req_streams;
	}
}

this way, different function drivers can request for a different number
of streams and controller driver is required to keep track of total
number of streams, and number of "busy" streams.

Another approach would be to require function drivers to request the
streams during bind by themselves and only give this layer correct
descriptors, which allow you to make those arguments const.
