Subject: media: cxusb: Don't use dynamic static allocation
From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <m.chehab@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 64f7ef8afbf89f3c72c4d2472e4914ca198c0668 upstream.
Dynamic static allocation is evil, as Kernel stack is too low, and
compilation complains about it on some archs:
drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/cxusb.c:209:1: warning: 'cxusb_i2c_xfer' uses dynamic stack allocation [enabled by default]
drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/cxusb.c:69:1: warning: 'cxusb_ctrl_msg' uses dynamic stack allocation [enabled by default]
Instead, let's enforce a limit for the buffer to be the max size of
a control URB payload data (64 bytes).
