 r"""Do a control transfer on the endpoint 0. This method is used to issue a control transfer over the endpoint 0 (endpoint 0 is required to always be a control endpoint). The parameters bmRequestType, bRequest, wValue and wIndex are the same of the USB Standard Control Request format. Control requests may or may not have a data payload to write/read. In cases which it has, the direction bit of the bmRequestType field is used to infer the desired request direction. For host to device requests (OUT), data_or_wLength parameter is the data payload to send, and it must be a sequence type convertible to an array object. In this case, the return value is the number of bytes written in the data payload. For device to host requests (IN), data_or_wLength is either the wLength parameter of the control request specifying the number of bytes to read in data payload, and the return value is an array object with data read, or an array object which the data will be read to, and the return value is the number of bytes read.
