Subject: [PATCH] bas_gigaset: correctly allocate USB interrupt transfer buffer

Dave,

the following patch corrects a serious bug in the Gigaset driver,
reported by Kolja Waschk, which made the driver unusable on the MIPS
platform. It is not a regression in the proper sense of the word -
the problem has been there since the creation of the Gigaset driver.
(I wonder how we got away with it for so long.) But nevertheless I'd
like to see it included in v2.6.29 if that is still possible. If not,
please let me know so that I can submit it to the -stable branch as
soon as possible.

The patch doesn't apply to v2.6.28 and earlier because of a (trivial)
conflict with commit c8770dc. I'll prepare a separate patch for
2.6.27.x/2.6.28.x as soon as this one is merged in mainline.

Thanks,
Tilman

bas_gigaset: correctly allocate USB interrupt transfer buffer

Every USB transfer buffer has to be allocated individually by kmalloc.

Impact: bugfix, no functional change
