4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Malcolm Priestley <tvboxspy@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 12ecd24ef93277e4e5feaf27b0b18f2d3828bc5e upstream.
Since 4.9 mandated USB buffers be heap allocated this causes the driver
to fail.
Since there is a wide range of buffer sizes use kmemdup to create
allocated buffer.
