4.2.8-ckt3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@...cle.com>

commit 6b9140f39c2aaf76791197fbab0839c0e4af56e8 upstream.

Writing 0 length data into test_power makes it access an invalid array
location and kill the system.

Fixes: f17ef9b2d ("power: Make test_power driver more dynamic.")
