Re: [PATCH] m68k/kernel: array out of bound access in process_uboot_commandline

From: Hangyu Hua

But commandp[len -1] is used to add a zero-terminated. If we don't use
commandp[0]=0 in len == 0,
than commandp will not have a zero-terminated. I think strings may
make some errors beacause of this.

Thanks.
