Of course -- I feel for stupid for forgetting that we're talking about
a gadget driver.
The normal thing for gadget drivers to do is to set req->length to be
the minimum of wLength and the amount of data they want to send (which
in this case would be 4 or smaller). If the gadget driver doesn't do
that min() calculation, it's probably a bug.
