[PATCH v2 00/15] drivers: usb: misc: update to use usb_control_msg_{send|recv}()

[Anant Thazhemadam]

The new usb_control_msg_{send|recv}() API provides an improved way of 
using usb_control_msg(). Using this, short reads/writes are considered
as errors, data can be used off the stack, and the need for the calling
function to create a raw usb pipe is eliminated.
This patch series aims to update existing instances of usb_control_msg() 
in drivers/usb/misc to usb_control_msg_{send|recv}() appropriately, and
also update the return value checking mechanisms in place (if any), as
necessary so nothing breaks.

I was however unable to update one instance of usb_control_msg() in 
drivers/usb/misc/apple-mfi-fastcharge.c.

The return value checking mechanism present here, is as follows.
	if (retval) {
		dev_dbg(&mfi->udev->dev, "retval = %d\n", retval);
		return retval;
	}

	mfi->charge_type = val->intval;

	return 0;

This implies that mfi->charge_type = val->intval only when number of
bytes transferred = 0, and the return value is directly returned 
otherwise. Since the new API doesn't return the number of bytes 
transferred, I wasn't quite sure how this instance could be updated.
In case this check is logically incorrect, a patch with a fix 
can be sent in as well.

Changes in v2:

  * Buffer variables that were previously dynamically allocated are no
    longer dynamically allocated unless they have a variable length
    (since that threw a warning).
