The new wrapper functions usb_control_msg_send/recv accept stack variables for USB message buffers and eliminate the need of manually allocating temporary DMA buffers. The read wrapper also treats short reads as errors. Hence use the wrappers instead of using usb_control_msg() directly. Note that the conversion of f81534a_ctrl_set_register() adds an extra an extra allocation and memcpy for every retry. Since this function is called rarely and retries are hopefully rare, the overhead should be acceptable. Also note that short reads are now logged as -EREMOTEIO instead of indicating the amount of data read.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
