V4L/DVB (3766): Correct buffer size calculations in cx88-core.c
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The computation in cx88_risc_buffer suffers from the mistake:
a non-zero padding value can cause more page borders to be crossed,
leading to big buffer over-runs.  
This patch changes the additive constant from 3 + 4 to 4
It also changees the constant in cx88_risc_databuffer from 3 + 4 to 2,
because 2 dwords are the correct vaule.
