From: Stefan Brüns <stefan.bruens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 67b0503db9c29b04eadfeede6bebbfe5ddad94ef upstream.
The buffer allocation for the firmware data was changed in
commit 43fab9793c1f ("[media] dvb-usb: don't use stack for firmware load")
but the same applies for the reset value.
Fixes: 43fab9793c1f ("[media] dvb-usb: don't use stack for firmware load")
