What you do here is a very simple solution to the problem that
the FLAVOR_0 register is not available prior to IPA v3.5.

I wanted to try to do something that might allow the configured
endpoints to be checked, but for IPA v3.0 and IPA v3.1 they
just aren't laid out the same way, so it's not so simple.

I will post a patch that does essentially the same thing
you do, but which includes a little more complete explanation
in comments.  It will credit you for the suggestion and provide
a link to this original patch.
