There is indeed an interrupt endpoint with address 0x81, but the driver
defines bInterfaceProtocol = 2 (Mouse), and the endpoint in that
interface is 0x84:

#define BCM5974_DEVICE(prod) {					\
	.match_flags = (USB_DEVICE_ID_MATCH_DEVICE |		\
			USB_DEVICE_ID_MATCH_INT_CLASS |		\
			USB_DEVICE_ID_MATCH_INT_PROTOCOL),	\
	.idVendor = USB_VENDOR_ID_APPLE,			\
	.idProduct = (prod),					\
	.bInterfaceClass = USB_INTERFACE_CLASS_HID,		\
	.bInterfaceProtocol = USB_INTERFACE_PROTOCOL_MOUSE	\
}

where USB_INTERFACE_PROTOCOL_MOUSE = 2.


My interpretation is that the driver is checking if the endpoint with
address 0x81 form the interface with bInterfaceProtocol = 2 (that is the
last interface of the list, the one with bInterfaceNumber = 2), but it
is not found, because its only endpoint has a different address (0x84).

Interestingly, 0x84 is the address given to the endpoint of the button
interface. The button interface should not be relevant for Macbook 5,1
(TYPE 2 in the driver), according to 43f482b48d03 ("Input: bcm5974 -
only setup button urb for TYPE1 devices").

If that is true, does anyone know why bInterfaceProtocol is always set
to USB_INTERFACE_PROTOCOL_MOUSE, and why the driver works anyway with
bEndpointAddress = 0x81 for the trackpad? The urb setup for 0x84 is only
executed for TYPE 1 devices, and the mouse interface does not have an
endpoint with address 0x81. Or am I missing something?

We could revert the patch in question, but I see no reason why checking
an expected interrupt endpoint should cause trouble. It looks like there
is something fishy going on.
