Syzbot found a warning caused by hid_submit_ctrl() submitting a
control request to transfer a 0-length input report:
usb 1-1: BOGUS control dir, pipe 80000280 doesn't match bRequestType a1
(The warning message is a little difficult to understand. It means
that the control request claims to be for an IN transfer but this
contradicts the USB spec, which requires 0-length control transfers
always to be in the OUT direction.)
Now, a zero-length report isn't good for anything and there's no
reason for a device to have one, but the fuzzer likes to pick out
these weird edge cases. In the future, perhaps we will decide to
reject 0-length reports at probe time. For now, the simplest approach
for avoiding these warnings is to pretend that the report actually has
length 1.
