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.
