[PATCH 3.18 057/124] [media] dvb-usb: dont use stack for firmware load

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

commit 43fab9793c1f44e665b4f98035a14942edf03ddc upstream.

As reported by Marc Duponcheel <marc@offline.be>, firmware load on
dvb-usb is using the stack, with is not allowed anymore on default
Kernel configurations:
