Subject: [PATCH driver-core 2/2] test_firmware: fix setting old custom fw
 path back on exit, second try

Commit 65c79230576 tried to clear the custom firmware path on exit by
writing a single space to the firmware_class.path parameter.  This
doesn't work because nothing strips this space from the value stored
and fw_get_filesystem_firmware() only ignores zero-length paths.

Instead, write a null byte.

Fixes: 0a8adf58475 ("test: add firmware_class loader test")
Fixes: 65c79230576 ("test_firmware: fix setting old custom fw path back on exit")
