Don't we access epc_features only after checking if epc_features is not NULL in
pci_epf_test_bind() function? However we are accessing epc_features in multiple
other functions all over pci-epf-test.

So the patch itself is correct though the commit log has to be fixed. You
should also check if all the endpoint controller drivers existing currently
provides epc_features.

Thanks
