I'd like to send this patch except that it "breaks"
cx24116_send_diseqc_msg(). The cx24116 driver accepts ->msg_len values
up to 24 but it looks like it's just copying 16 bytes past the end of
the ->msg[] array so it's already broken.
cmd->msg_len is an unsigned char. The comment next to the struct
declaration says that valid values are are 3-6. Some of the drivers
check that this is true, but most don't and it could cause memory
corruption.
Some examples of functions which don't check are:
ttusbdecfe_dvbs_diseqc_send_master_cmd()
cx24123_send_diseqc_msg()
ds3000_send_diseqc_msg()
etc.
