The driver uses a relatively large data structure on the stack, which
showed up on my radar as we get a warning with the "latent entropy"
GCC plugin:
drivers/media/usb/pvrusb2/pvrusb2-eeprom.c:153:1: error: the frame size of 1376 bytes is larger than 1152 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]
The warning is usually hidden as we raise the warning limit to 2048
when the plugin is enabled, but I'd like to lower that again in the
future, and making this function smaller helps to do that without
build regressions.
Further analysis shows that putting an 'i2c_client' structure on
the stack is not really supported, as the embedded 'struct device'
is not initialized here, and we are only saved by the fact that
the function that is called here does not use the pointer at all.
