    [media] dvb-frontends: Don't use dynamic static allocation · 37ebaf68

    Dynamic static allocation is evil, as Kernel stack is too low, and
    compilation complains about it on some archs:

    Instead, let's enforce a limit for the buffer. Considering that I2C
    transfers are generally limited, and that devices used on USB has a
    max data length of 64 bytes for	the control URBs.
    So, it seem safe to use 64 bytes as the hard limit for all those devices.
     On most cases, the limit is a way lower than that, but	this limit
    is small enough to not affect the Kernel stack, and it is a no brain
    limit, as using smaller ones would require to either carefully each
    driver or to take a look on each datasheet.
