The original patch failed to apply on Kernel 4.9, due to a trivial change
inside an error message. Original upstream patch:
43fab9793c1f [media] dvb-usb: don't use stack for firmware load
Greg,
There is one additional fix for dvb-usb-firmware for it to work fine with
non-DMA capable stack. I'm submitting it upstream later today. It should
apply fine after this one (I tested).
