This is a static checker fix.  In the ttusb_process_muxpack() we do:

	cc = (muxpack[len - 4] << 8) | muxpack[len - 3];

That means if we pass a number less than 4 then we will either trigger a
checksum error message or read before the start of the array.

I can't test this.

This patch doesn't introduce any bugs, but I'm not positive this is the
right thing to do.  Perhaps it's better to print an error message?
