Hi Jiri,

While playing a little bit with the CP2112 (for hid-rmi I must confess), I
realized that kernel v4.9 now enforces DMA capable buffers when calling
hid_hw_raw_request(). Kernel v4.8 works fine (but gives a stacktrace the first
time), but v4.9 doesn't.

So I gave a check of all the other drivers in the HID tree, and it looks like
only 4 drivers are not properly allocating their buffers.

I'd say this is v4.9 material but I was not able to test magicmouse and lg.
If this doesn't qualifies for 4.9-rc7, I think we should add the stable@ stamp,
given that the chance this will break hid-rmi is huge (cp2112 is not so much an
issue, given it's a devel board).

Cheers,
Benjamin
