This is still listed as required, but the documentation changes above suggest that this PR is making it optional

Thats the has_args field, which states that the flag requires argument not that the flag itself is required

How does removing these definitions not cause a compile error?

These functions are defined in qdl.h and already implemented in usb.c, I edited the usb.c implementation so that if the fd field in qdl struct is defined the file descriptor is used instead of libusb. This solution is not ideal, but its the best I could come up with without more extensive changes to the codebase, which seem pointless as only ks uses file descriptors.
This patch adds support for libusb communication with devices in edl mode, while retaining the existing implementation using file descriptors. It's unclear to me if the file descriptor implementation is actively used by anyone (it doesn't work very well for me), so feedback on its usage and potential deletion is welcome.
