Could you try out this patch if it looks ok to you? I have not tested it because
unfortunately I don't have the hardware. Right now it generates some compile
warnings like this one:
drivers/usb/storage/realtek_cr.c:419:40: warning: buf[0] may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wuninitialized]
It think they are harmless but I didn't see an obvious way to get rid of them,
so if you have any suggestions I would be glad to hear them.
This patch changed rts51x_read_mem, rts51x_write_mem, and rts51x_read_status to
allocate temporary buffers with kmalloc. This way stack addresses are not used
for DMA when these functions call rts51x_bulk_transport.
