OK, revised.  Thank you for review.

Subject: [PATCH] zd1211rw: Use DMA-aware buffer for usb transfer
From: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The zd1211rw driver uses unaligned stack buffer for USB control
message.  But it might cause stack corruption on non-coherent
platform, such as MIPS.  Use DMA-aware buffers for USB transfer.
