You are right the buffer is null terminated at 'len+1'th. However, the patch is to actually remove the new line character. For example, if you type 'echo "abcd" > /sys/kernel/debugfs/dri/0/crtc-x/crc/control' in debugfs, the 'len' here is 5, where the 5th is the new line. I will submit a new patch with a clear title and modify the format.
