If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 5165da5923d6c7df6f2927b0113b2e4d9288661e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Reichel <sebastian.reichel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 5 May 2017 11:06:50 +0200 Subject: i2c: i2c-tiny-usb: fix buffer not being DMA capable From: Sebastian Reichel <sebastian.reichel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 5165da5923d6c7df6f2927b0113b2e4d9288661e upstream. Since v4.9 i2c-tiny-usb generates the below call trace and longer works, since it can't communicate with the USB device. The reason is, that since v4.9 the USB stack checks, that the buffer it should transfer is DMA capable. This was a requirement since v2.2 days, but it usually worked nevertheless.
