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

From: Sebastian Reichel
Date: Thu May 04 2017 - 08:57:37 EST


The i2c-tiny-usb driver generates the following trace and fails to
read or write data on a v4.9 or newer kernels. This patch avoids the
problem by allocating a DMA capable buffer for data transfer.
