Subject: drivers/net/niu.c: possible array overflows

The Coverity checker spotted the following in drivers/net/niu.c:

<--  snip  -->

...
static int __devinit niu_pci_probe_sprom(struct niu *np)
{
...
        val = nr64(ESPC_MOD_STR_LEN);
        niudbg(PROBE, "SPROM: MOD_STR_LEN[%llu]\n",
               (unsigned long long) val);
        if (val > 8 * 4)
                return -EINVAL;

        for (i = 0; i < val; i += 4) {
                u64 tmp = nr64(ESPC_NCR(5 + (i / 4)));

                np->vpd.model[i + 3] = (tmp >>  0) & 0xff;
                np->vpd.model[i + 2] = (tmp >>  8) & 0xff;
                np->vpd.model[i + 1] = (tmp >> 16) & 0xff;
                np->vpd.model[i + 0] = (tmp >> 24) & 0xff;
        }
        np->vpd.model[val] = '\0';

        val = nr64(ESPC_BD_MOD_STR_LEN);
        niudbg(PROBE, "SPROM: BD_MOD_STR_LEN[%llu]\n",
               (unsigned long long) val);
        if (val > 4 * 4)
                return -EINVAL;

        for (i = 0; i < val; i += 4) {
                u64 tmp = nr64(ESPC_NCR(14 + (i / 4)));

                np->vpd.board_model[i + 3] = (tmp >>  0) & 0xff;
                np->vpd.board_model[i + 2] = (tmp >>  8) & 0xff;
                np->vpd.board_model[i + 1] = (tmp >> 16) & 0xff;
                np->vpd.board_model[i + 0] = (tmp >> 24) & 0xff;
        }
        np->vpd.board_model[val] = '\0';
...

<--  snip  -->

Check where the '\0's get written if "val" has the maximum non-EINVAL 
value.

        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
