The strings are passed to snprintf so must be null terminated. It seems the
copy length is incorrectly set.

Please use strlcpy() instead.  (I thought someone had already gone round
the get_drvinfo implementations and fixed them to do that, actually.)

There are still plenty of them. I'm just noting they are one out. I'm
doing a first pass over a whole pile of stuff so if you'd prefer it in a
different form treat it as a note to the maintainer than their code is
buggy as I probably won't be back round to it for a couple of months
judging by the size of the audit pile I'm working down.

That may have been my "floor sweeping" exercise of before, but I didn't 
go into drivers/net/usb/ at the time.
