Do you mean I should allocate a buffer with "total" size? Or if
"total" > 256, I set a dev_err then return?
A question, I think "total" doesn't larger than 256. Because at
current, there are only four device capability types such as
Wireless_USB, USB 2.0 EXETENSION, Superspeed_USB, CONTAINER_ID, do
you mean there might be more desciptors added in future?

Right, will update.

Got it, will update.

Thank you to your comments.
