[patch] HID: picoLCD: off by one in dump_buff_as_hex()

From: Dan Carpenter <hidden>
Date: 2012-09-14 11:04:29
Also in: kernel-janitors
Subsystem: hid core layer, picolcd hid driver, the rest · Maintainers: Jiri Kosina, Benjamin Tissoires, Bruno Prémont, Linus Torvalds

We're placing the NUL terminator one character beyond the end of the
buffer here.

This change obviously don't make the code worse, but I'm not positive
it's the right fix.  I'm not sure the lines before are doing the right
thing either, if we had two chars of remaining space then wouldn't it be
better to put the new line and NUL in the unused space?

If you decide to do it differently, then please feel to sent a patch for
that and give me a Reported-by cookie.
