When wlen is checked to be <= 2 and
wbuf[0],wbuf[1] are already used in 'index','value',
why this patch copys wbuf and passes it again in usb_control_msg when wo==1 ?
(just to silence static analiyzers?)

Furthermore,
I am afraid that a static analyzer might warn on a possible
buffer overrun in usb_control_msg in the case of rbuf == NULL && rlen > 2,
since buf's length is passed as rlen but is actually wlen.
