3.2.95-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: A Raghavendra Rao <raghav3276@xxxxxxxxx> commit 41cb65c4854e14f12b1cbb8215e509d8ad4d0c88 upstream. Fix the following sparse warning : In file included from drivers/staging/wlan-ng/prism2usb.c:5:0: drivers/staging/wlan-ng/prism2fw.c: In function ‘read_cardpda.constprop.43’: drivers/staging/wlan-ng/prism2fw.c:792:1: warning: the frame size of 1068 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=] The variable to 'struct p80211msg_p2req_readpda' was previously being created on the stack, which inturn exeeded the frame size limit, resulting in a sparse warning. This patch alloctes the memory to the structure dynamically and the operations are left unchanged.
