Subject: [PATCH 3.16 165/305] iio: proximity: as3935: fix buffer stack
 trashing

3.16.37-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Matt Ranostay <mranostay@...il.com>

commit 37b1ba2c68cfbe37f5f45bb91bcfaf2b016ae6a1 upstream.

Buffer wasn't of a valid size to allow the timestamp, and correct padding.
This patchset also moves the buffer off the stack, and onto the heap.
