Merge tag 'firewire-fix' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394
Pull firewire fix from Stefan Richter: "IEEE 1394 (FireWire) subsystem fix: The character device file interface for raw 1394 I/O took uninitialized kernel stack as substitute for missing ioctl() argument data. This could partially show up in subsequent read() output" * tag 'firewire-fix' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ieee1394/linux1394: firewire: cdev: prevent kernel stack leaking into ioctl arguments
