when strlen pi->location_code is larger than HVCS_CLC_LENGTH + 1,
    original implementation can not let hvcsd->p_location_code NUL terminated.
  so need fix it (also can simplify the code)

It should never be larger because the +1 is exactly for NUL. But it is a
cleanup, so why not...

  when strlen(&pi->location_code[0]) == HVCS_CLC_LENGTH + 2
    then clclength will be reset to HVCS_CLC_LENGTH.

    when call strncpy, the clclength + 1 == HVCS_CLS_LENGTH + 1
      but the '\0' of src buf is located at HVCS_CLS_LENGTH + 2.
      so no '\0' copied to dest buf.

    then the dest buf will not be ended by '\0'.

  is it correct ?

        but the '\0' of src buf is located at HVCS_CLS_LENGTH + 3. (not + 2)

It cannot, pi->location_code is defined as char[HVCS_CLC_LENGTH + 1].

  really, it is, I did not notice it.

  but I still prefer to modify it, but the patch should be changed
  such as:
    subject: beautify code: deleting useless judging code.
    comments: src buf len and dest buf len are the same, strcpy is better.
    contents: using strcpy instead of strncpy, and delete judging code.

  is it ok ?

BTW:
  sorry for my reply is too late, and did not notify it, originally before.
    I have to do some urgent things, during these days.
      my father had a serious heart disease, and is in hospital.
      during these days, most of my time has to be in hospital.
      (God Bless, and thank Jesus Christ, my father is safe, now).
    within my company (Asianux), I also have something to do.

  excuse me:
    within this week, maybe can not get my mail reply, too.

No problem, these drivers are not so critical. Neither these code paths
in them. Take care of your relatives first.

  I will send patch v2.

oh, this patch has integrated into next-20130307 tree.
    (commit 9276dfd27897a0b29d8b5814f39a1f82f56b6b6b)
  it seems we need a regression for this commit, then I send patch v2

  is it correct ?

  :-)

Just send a fixup patch on top of the existing upstream.
