`req` is an instance of a `struct bdc_req` defined in
drivers/usb/gadget/udc/bdc/bdc.h as:
333 struct bdc_req {
334 struct usb_request usb_req;
335 struct list_head queue;
336 struct bdc_ep *ep;
337 /* only one Transfer per request */
338 struct bd_transfer bd_xfr;
339 int epnum;
340 };
So indeed the non-pointer, struct members can never be NULL.
I think the second check that was removed should be
`req->usb_req.complete == NULL`, since otherwise `&req->usb_req` may
be passed to usb_gadget_giveback_request which tries to invoke the
`complete` member as a callback. There are numerous places in
drivers/usb/gadget/udc/bdc/bdc_ep.c that assign `complete = NULL`.
Can the maintainers clarify?
