Not the correct change log. Something like below:

On some platforms there are some platform device is created with
invalid name. For example:
"HID-SENSOR-INT-020b?.39.auto" instead of "HID-SENSOR-INT-020b.39.auto"

This string include some invalid character, hence it will fail to
properly load the driver which will handle this custom sensor. Also
it is a problem for some user space tools, which parses the device
names.

This is because the string real_usage is not NULL terminated and
printed with %s to form device name.

To address this initialize the real_usage string with 0s.
