Totally agree, that was just an idea for brainstorming. Another way is
to introduce sanei_usb_open2(), sanei_usb_open_ex() etc, which takes
additional parametrs (endpoint numbers), or new
sanei_usb_select_endpoints() call etc.

I would prefer to use sanei_usb_claim_interface () (existing call,
which should be extended to set interface_nr as well as calling
usb_clam_interface()), sanei_usb_set_endpoints () (new call, whose
semantics are to be discussed).

I will make the necessary changes in sanei_usb.[ch], the major part is
the consensus on the changes to implement.
