Subject: [suggestion]  drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy: the parameter 'const
 char *buf' may be not '\0' base string for DINFO

Hello Stanislaw, John

  we can not assume that the parameter 'const char *buf' is '\0' base string.
  and DINOF uses '%s' for buf (in line 3288..3289)
  so it will cause issue.

  I am not quite familiar with the detail features.
  so I send mail as a suggestion.
  please help checking, if this suggestion is valid, please help fixing, thanks.

  Regards

gchen.
