The issue occurs due to insufficient validation of data passed to the USB API.
In the current implementation, the dtv5100 driver expects two I2C non-zero 
length messages for a combined write/read request. However, when 
only a single message is provided, the driver incorrectly processes message
of size 1, passing a read data size of zero to the dtv5100_i2c_msg function.
When usb_control_msg() is called with a PIPEOUT type and a read length of
zero, a mismatch error occurs between the operation type and the expected
transfer direction in function usb_submit_urb. This is the trigger
for warning.
Replace usb_control_msg() with usb_control_msg_recv() and
usb_control_msg_send() to rely on the USB API for proper validation and
prevent inconsistencies in the future.
