Subject: [PATCH net 0/2] liquidio: Fix an off by one in octeon_download_firmware()

This serie fixes an off by one related to the usage of strncat() in
octeon_download_firmware().

The first patch is a minimal fix.

The 2nd one is an attempt to remove strncat() which is used in a wrong way
most of the time.
It removes the need of an intermediate buffer but may need further discussions.
(i.e. is it a good idea to update h->bootcmd directly?)

Both patches are compile tested only.
