4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+rene...@glider.be>
commit d2ffed5185df9d8d9ccd150e4340e3b6f96a8381 upstream.
When printing the driver_override parameter when it is 4095 and 4094
bytes long, the printing code would access invalid memory because we
need count + 1 bytes for printing.
Cfr. commits 4efe874aace57dba ("PCI: Don't read past the end of sysfs
"driver_override" buffer") and bf563b01c2895a4b ("driver core: platform:
Don't read past the end of "driver_override" buffer").
Fixes: 3cf385713460eb2b ("ARM: 8256/1: driver coamba: add device binding path
'driver_override'")
