2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit dc6b845044ccb7e9e6f3b7e71bd179b3cf0223b6 upstream.

While compiling it with Fedora 15, I noticed this issue:

inlined from â??si4713_write_econtrol_stringâ?? at drivers/media/radio/si4713-i2c.c:1065:24:
arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_32.h:211:26: error: call to â??copy_from_user_overflowâ?? declared with attribute error: copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct
