Hi Tomeu,

A couple of small nitpicks and a rather nasty looking bug, related to
your earlier question.

Considering the bug below, I'm considering if there's a case were we
don't want to explicitly set the terminating byte ?

NULL-terminated what the things that was missing, explaining the
maths. Yet note the code sort of contradicts it.

TL;DR: above we conditionally NULL terminate the data, yet (below) we
feed garbage (always) instead of \0 byte.

Here buf is filled with garbage...

... and now all the data is in, incl. the \n byte.

And here we copy the whole thing incl. the 'should be \0 but is
actually garbage' byte.

This doesn't look good :-\

Minor: We're missing teardown in the error path.

Minor: The function is internal only and used only when
defined(CONFIG_DEBUG_FS). Thus it should stay in
drivers/gpu/drm/foo.h.

Rule of thumb: include/drm defines the API used by the drivers, while
drivers/gpu/drm/foo_internal.h the internal API between the core DRM
modules.
