We cannot pass a stack-allocated buffer, as it is not warranted that the stack would be into a DMA enabled area. On Kernel 4.9, the default is to not accept DMA on stack anymore on x86 architecture. On other architectures, this has been a requirement since Kernel 2.2. So, after this patch, this driver should likely work fine on all archs.
