Hi,

Mark, my other comment was meant to stop this patch from being applied 
;), perhaps I could have been more clear? kmemdup_nul() in this case 
will copy bytes behind the end of widget name when copying. Widgets to 
which it applies are named: "ADX MUX0", "ADC MUX1" and so on, until "ADC 
MUX 8", which is 10 bytes including '\0', and kmemdup_nul() will copy 15 
using memcpy().
