3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Malcolm Priestley <tvboxspy@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 05c0cf88bec588a7cb34de569acd871ceef26760 upstream.
Since 4.9 mandated USB buffers to be heap allocated. This causes
the driver to fail.
Create buffer for USB transfers.
