Subject: [ 012/167] [PATCH] USB: yurex: Remove allocation of coherent buffer for
 setup-packet buffer

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

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

From: Tomoki Sekiyama <tomoki.sekiyama@...il.com>

commit 523fc5c14f6cad283e5a266eba0e343aed6e73d5 upstream.

Removes allocation of coherent buffer for the control-request setup-packet
buffer from the yurex driver. Using coherent buffers for setup-packet is
obsolete and does not work with some USB host implementations.
