Isn't

A few lines above this, endpoint_id is initialized as u32. If we're
going for "correctness", endpoint_id should be a u8. But of course,
this would contrast with ipa_endpoint having it as a u32.

As far as I see it, using u32_get_bits instead of u8_get_bits simply
eliminates confusion about the type of endpoint_id. Perhaps instead of
this patch, send a patch with a comment that while u32_get_bits is
used, the field is only 8 bits?
