Re: [PATCH] isight_firmware: Avoid crash on loading invalid firmware

[Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org>]

Different tools generate slightly different formats of the isight 
firmware. Ensure that the firmware buffer is not overrun, while still 
ensuring that the correct amount of data is written if trailing data is 
preseent. Fixes crash reported by Justin Mattock.

Identical to the previous patch, just acknowledges Justin Mattock's (not 
Maddock, Andrew :p) report in the changelog.
