commit dc6b845044ccb7e9e6f3b7e71bd179b3cf0223b6 upstream.

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

  inlined from ‘si4713_write_econtrol_string’ at drivers/media/radio/si4713-i2c.c:1065:24:
  arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_32.h:211:26: error: call to ‘copy_from_user_overflow’ declared with attribute error: copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct
