For the existing code this might seem the right thing to do but ideally the
memcpy here should be changed to memcpy_fromio/memcpy_toio.
Also later when we plan to use DMA (on the endpoint) for data transfer, we have
to use kzalloc and dma_map_single APIs.
So maybe the right thing would be to just fix it to use memcpy_fromio here.
Thanks
