Pull media build fixes from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
"A series of patches that fix compilation on non-x86 archs.
While most of them are just build fixes, there are some fixes for real
bugs, as there are a number of drivers using dynamic stack allocation.
A few of those might be considered a security risk, if the i2c-dev
module is loaded, as someone could be sending very long I2C data that
could potentially overflow the Kernel stack. Ok, as using /dev/i2c-*
devnodes usually requires root on usual distros, and exploiting it
would require a DVB board or USB stick, the risk is not high"

Dynamic static allocation is evil, as Kernel stack is too low, and
compilation complains about it on some archs:

drivers/media/tuners/tda18218.c:92:1: warning: 'tda18218_rd_regs.constprop.0' uses dynamic stack allocation [enabled by default]
Instead, let's enforce a limit for the buffer. Considering that I2C
transfers are generally limited, and that devices used on USB has a
max data length of 64 bytes for the control URBs.
So, it seem safe to use 64 bytes as the hard limit for all those devices.
On most cases, the limit is a way lower than that, but this limit
is small enough to not affect the Kernel stack, and it is a no brain
limit, as using smaller ones would require to either carefully each
driver or to take a look on each datasheet.

Fix long-lasting bug that causes tuning failure of some frequencies
on 32-bit arch.
Special thanks goes to Damien CABROL who finally find root of the bug.
Also big thanks to Jacek Konieczny for donating "non-working" device.

I did some tests against modulator (television signal generator) and this
seems to improve sensitivity a little bit on channel I used. Used device
was able to receive transmission just as weak signal as with Windows XP.
Thanks to Jacek for donating his non-working device. I cannot ask he to
test anymore...

Callbacks were set even attach failed. This leads calling
.release() in error case and resulted crash.
