usb: misc: Add Intel USBIO bridge driver

Hello Israel Cepeda,

Commit 121a0f839dbb ("usb: misc: Add Intel USBIO bridge driver") from Sep 11, 2025 (linux-next), leads to the following Smatch static checker warning:

drivers/usb/misc/usbio.c:187 usbio_ctrl_msg() warn: 'ret' possible negative type promoted to high drivers/usb/misc/usbio.c:187 usbio_ctrl_msg() warn: error code type promoted to positive: 'ret' drivers/usb/misc/usbio.c:189 usbio_ctrl_msg() warn: condition is always false

    180         pipe = usb_rcvctrlpipe(usbio->udev, usbio->ctrl_pipe);
    181         cpkt_len = sizeof(*cpkt) + ibuf_len;
    182         ret = usb_control_msg(usbio->udev, pipe, 0, request | USB_DIR_IN, 0, 0,
    183                               cpkt, cpkt_len, USBIO_CTRLXFER_TIMEOUT);
    184         dev_dbg(usbio->dev, "control in %d hdr %*phN data %*phN\n", ret,
    185                 (int)sizeof(*cpkt), cpkt, (int)cpkt->len, cpkt->data);
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Instead of casting, these should use %z or whatever...

    186 
--> 187         if (ret < sizeof(*cpkt)) {
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

if ret is negative then here it's type promoted to a high positive value.

    188                 dev_err(usbio->dev, "USB control in failed: %d\n", ret);
    189                 return (ret < 0) ? ret : -EPROTO;
                                ^^^^^^^

impossible.
