The current approach for this issue failed to catch the problem
because it only checks for the existence of a bulk-OUT endpoint; it
doesn’t check whether this endpoint is the one that the driver will
actually use.
We can fix the problem by instead checking that the endpoint used by
the driver does exist and is bulk-OUT.
