    [media] vp7045: fix buffer setup · fc61ccd3

    dvb_usb_device_init calls the frontend_attach method of this driver which
    uses vp7045_usb_ob. In order to have a buffer ready in vp7045_usb_op, it has to
    be allocated before that happens.
    
    Luckily we can use the whole private data as the buffer as it gets separately
    allocated on the heap via kzalloc in dvb_usb_device_init and is thus apt for
    use via usb_control_msg.
    
    This fixes a
    	BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000000001e78
