Thomas Jarosch 9476d39366 mcs7780: Fix initialization when CONFIG_VMAP_STACK is enabled
DMA transfers are not allowed to buffers that are on the stack.
Therefore allocate a buffer to store the result of usb_control_message().

Regression goes back to 4.9, so it's a good candidate for -stable.
Though it's the decision of the maintainer.

Thanks to Dan Williams for adding the "transfer buffer not dma capable"
warning in the first place. It instantly pointed me in the right direction.

Patch has been tested with transferring data from a Polar watch.

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.
