[34/49] USB: isight: fix kernel bug when loading firmware

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Jan 10 2012 - 18:09:37 EST


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

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

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxx>

commit 59bf5cf94f0fa3b08fb1258b52649077b7d0914d upstream.

We were sending data on the stack when uploading firmware, which causes
some machines fits, and is not allowed. Fix this by using the buffer we
already had around for this very purpose.
