[PATCHv2] i2c: i2c-tiny-usb: fix buffer not being DMA capable

From: Sebastian Reichel
Date: Fri May 05 2017 - 05:07:29 EST


Since v4.9 i2c-tiny-usb generates the below call trace
and longer works, since it can't communicate with the
USB device. The reason is, that since v4.9 the USB
stack checks, that the buffer it should transfer is DMA
capable. This was a requirement since v2.2 days, but it
usually worked nevertheless.
