Marc,

I'm c/c the ML, as other people may be experiencing the very same issue.

There were a relevant change from Kernel 4.8 to 4.9: now, USB
transfers should not use the stack. Changeset 7724325a19fb0 is
part of a series meant to fix it. Unfortunately, I don't have all
devices that were affected by such patch series. So, we'll need to
manually address the issues on the devices that are still broken.

What's weird is that, in this specific case, the patch was tested
and reported to be ok. Maybe, on the test device, the existing
firmware is enough.

Anyway, please test the enclosed patch.

[PATCH] dvb-usb: don't use stack for firmware load

As reported by Marc Duponcheel <marc@offline.be>, firmware load on
dvb-usb is using the stack, with is not allowed anymore on default

So, allocate the structure dynamically.
