USB: io_edgeport: eliminate get_string()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Johan Hovold points out that get_string() is basically just a
re-implimentation of usb_string().  It is also buggy.  It does DMA on
the stack and it doesn't handle negative returns from
usb_get_descriptor().  Plus unicode_to_ascii() is a rubbish function and
moving to usb_string() avoids using it.

Let's eliminate get_string() entirely.
