[PATCH 4.9 046/130] ieee802154: atusb: do not use the stack for buffers to make them DMA able

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Stefan Schmidt <stefan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 05a974efa4bdf6e2a150e3f27dc6fcf0a9ad5655 upstream.

>From 4.9 we should really avoid using the stack here as this will not be DMA
able on various platforms. This changes the buffers already being present in
time of 4.9 being released. This should go into stable as well.
