Subject: [PATCH RESEND] dm9601: don't do usb transfers of data on stack

From: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet-OfajU3CKLf1/[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 09:07:32 +0200

dm_{read,write}() were doing USB transfers of data on stack, which isn't
allowed. Fix it by kmalloc'ing a temporary buffer.
Clean up the error handling for short transfers while we're at it.
