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 single zero-length control request which was using the read-register helper, and update the helper so that zero-length reads fail with an error message instead.
