I can do a v2 if you want.

But OTOH, I didn't expect such pointer to exist (though I'm sure I must
have seen it many times) because it doesn't seem strictly necessary.

Maybe do the reverse and get rid of ep->xhci, or stop adding new users
and clean up existing ones along the way?

Main users are invalidate_cancelled_tds()/giveback_invalidated_tds(),
their callers all have xhci and could easily supply it to them. And we
even discussed removing the latter completely, but I got sidetracked by
issues with URB_ZERO_PACKET.

Another user is xhci_handle_cmd_set_deq() which already has xhci.
I have a compile-tested patch which removes it completely right now,
it took five minutes and zero mental effort to prepare.
