[ Upstream commit d8a1de3d5bb881507602bc02e004904828f88711 ] Since linux 4.9 it is not possible to use buffers on the stack for DMA transfers. During usb probe the driver crashes with "transfer buffer is on stack" message. This fix k-allocates a buffer to be used on "read_reg_atomic", which is a macro that calls "usb_control_msg" under the hood.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
