Subject: [PATCH] media: uvcvideo: Fix spurious DMA max segment size warnings

As default, the DMA max segment size is set to 64k, and uvcvideo may
overflow that size easily, resulting in a warning like:

DMA-API: xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: mapping sg segment longer than device claims to support [len=98304] [max=65536]

Explicitly set up the DMA max segment size for avoiding spurious kernel
warnings.

Hi Takashi,

(CC'ing Greg and the linux-usb mailing list)

Thank you for the patch.

uvc_stream_to_dmadev() returns the pointer to the HCD's struct device,
which is shared between all drivers on the bus. Is it really fine for a
USB device driver to change the maximum segment size of the HCD device
directly ?

Ick, no! That feels wrong, it should only change things for that one
specific device, not all devices on that bus.

Hrm, indeed, that points to the HCD. This made me wonder, though,
whether the current usage of dma_*sgtable() with that device is OK or
not. The warning came from that code path, after all...
