I amended the commit message as follows when applying this one:

 USB: serial: f81232: use usb_control_msg_recv() and usb_control_msg_send()
    
    The new wrapper functions usb_control_msg_send/recv accept stack
    variables for USB message buffers and eliminate the need of manually
    allocating temporary DMA buffers. The read wrapper also treats short
    reads as errors. Hence use the wrappers instead of using
    usb_control_msg() directly.
    
    Note that the conversion of f81534a_ctrl_set_register() adds an extra an
    extra allocation and memcpy for every retry. Since this function is
    called rarely and retries are hopefully rare, the overhead should be
    acceptable.
    
    Also note that short reads are now logged as -EREMOTEIO instead of
    indicating the amount of data read.
