The direction of the pipe argument must match the request-type direction bit or control requests may fail depending on the host-controller-driver implementation. Control transfers without a data stage are treated as OUT requests by the USB stack and should be using usb_sndctrlpipe(). Failing to do so will now trigger a warning. Fix the zero-length i2c-read request used for type detection by attempting to read a single byte instead.
