Subject: [PATCH v2] brcmfmac: dhd_sdio.c:  Cleaning up missing null-terminate in conjunction with strncpy 

Now when I did the patch again I just want to ensure that this is not any other errors.

Although strncpy use before was wrong, it did filled the remaining part of the string with null
characters. This is not something that is needed?


And a part that is not obvious right, so check.
When brcmf_firmware_path[0] == '\0'   we do not want to do like.

if (brcmf_firmware_path[0] != '\0') {
...
} else {
  sdiodev->fw_name[0] = '\0';
  sdiodev->nvram_name[0] = '\0';
}


Kind regards
Rickard Strandqvist
