3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Felipe F. Tonello <eu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit e0466156ee2e944fb47a3fa00932c3698a6d2c67 upstream. Using usb_ep_align() makes sure that the buffer size for OUT endpoints is always aligned with wMaxPacketSize (512 usually). This makes sure that no buffer has the wrong size, which can cause nasty bugs. Signed-off-by: Felipe F.
