From: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart+renesas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The sg list used to prepare cyclic DMA descriptors is currently allocated statically on the stack as an array of 32 elements. This makes the shdma_prep_dma_cyclic() function consume a lot of stack space, as reported by the compiler: drivers/dma/sh/shdma-base.c: In function ‘shdma_prep_dma_cyclic’: drivers/dma/sh/shdma-base.c:715:1: warning: the frame size of 1056 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] Given the limited Linux kernel stack size, this could lead to stack overflows. Fix the problem by allocating the sg list dynamically.
