[PATCH 5/5] staging: vt6656: Remove memory buffer from vnt_download_firmware.

[PATCH 5/5] staging: vt6656: Remove memory buffer from vnt_download_firmware.

[Malcolm Priestley]

The memory buffer is being done twice here as vnt_control_out passes
it straight to kmemdup.

Remove buffer and add const to the variable in vnt_control_out to pass
the pointer to it.
