This patch is driven by a static checker warning.

The ttusb_process_muxpack() function is only called from
ttusb_process_frame().  Before calling, it verifies that len >= 2.  The
problem is that len == 2 is not valid and would lead to an array
underflow.

Odd number values for len are also invalid and would lead to reading
past the end of the array.

v2: Moved the check from the caller into the function.  Added a check
for odd values.  Added an error message.  Increment the numinvalid
counter.
