If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Hans de Goede commit 242187b362555849e8c971dfbbfd55f8bd9fa717 upstream. The buffer passed to usb_control_msg may end up in scatter-gather list, and may thus not be on the stack. Having it on the stack usually works on x86, but not on other archs.
