As explained in the interface specification, the device doesn't answer
to set reports, so the transfer should be CP2112_GPIO_CONFIG_LENGTH (5)
bytes.

Well, the commit I mentioned in the Fixes tag, changes from

- return ret <= 0 ? ret : -EIO;

to

+ return ret < 0 ? ret : -EIO;

because ret being 0 could mean that one of the hid_hw_raw_request
returned 0.
