This reverts commit89b593c30e("ALSA: usb-audio: purge needless variable length array"). The patch turned out to cause a severe regression, triggering an Oops at snd_usb_ctl_msg(). It was overseen that snd_usb_ctl_msg() writes back the response to the given buffer, while the patch changed it to a read-only const buffer. (One should always double-check when an extra pointer cast is present...) As a simple fix, just revert the affected commit. It was merely a cleanup. Although it brings VLA again, it's clearer as a fix. We'll address the VLA later in another patch.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
