Subject: media: tuners: Don't use dynamic static allocation
From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <m.chehab@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit f1baab870f6e93b668af7b34d6f6ba49f1b0e982 upstream.
Dynamic static allocation is evil, as Kernel stack is too low, and
compilation complains about it on some archs:
drivers/media/tuners/e4000.c:50:1: warning: 'e4000_wr_regs' uses dynamic stack allocation [enabled by default]
drivers/media/tuners/e4000.c:83:1: warning: 'e4000_rd_regs' uses dynamic stack allocation [enabled by default]

drivers/media/tuners/fc2580.c:98:1: warning: 'fc2580_rd_regs.constprop.0' uses dynamic stack allocation [enabled by default]
drivers/media/tuners/tda18212.c:57:1: warning: 'tda18212_wr_regs' uses dynamic stack allocation [enabled by default]
drivers/media/tuners/tda18212.c:90:1: warning: 'tda18212_rd_regs.constprop.0' uses dynamic stack allocation [enabled by default]
drivers/media/tuners/tda18218.c:60:1: warning: 'tda18218_wr_regs' uses dynamic stack allocation [enabled by default]
drivers/media/tuners/tda18218.c:92:1: warning: 'tda18218_rd_regs.constprop.0' uses dynamic stack allocation [enabled by default]
Instead, let's enforce a limit for the buffer. Considering that I2C
transfers are generally limited, and that devices used on USB has a
max data length of 64 bytes for the control URBs.
So, it seem safe to use 64 bytes as the hard limit for all those devices.
On most cases, the limit is a way lower than that, but this limit
is small enough to not affect the Kernel stack, and it is a no brain
limit, as using smaller ones would require to either carefully each
driver or to take a look on each datasheet.
