Subject: [PATCH v2] USB: gadget: dummy_hcd: switch char * to u8 *

The function handle_control_request() casts the urb buffer to a char *,
and then treats it like a unsigned char buffer when assigning data to
it. On some architectures, "char" is really signed, so let's just
properly set this pointer to a u8 to take away any potential problems as
that's what is really wanted here.

Use put_unaligned_le16() to copy the full 16bits into the buffer,
it's not a problem just yet as only 7 bits are being used here, but this
protects us when/if the USB spec changes in the future to define more of
these bits.

v2: - use put_unaligned_le16() on Linus's recommendation as a simpler and
more obvious way to describe the data being copied here.
- update device: comment based on Alan's review

This is tempting but wrong. At this point we haven't checked how big
the transfer_buffer is; if it is only one byte long then this call will
overflow the buffer. Notice the "if" statement three lines below.

Ick, good catch. I'll redo this again...
