[PATCH] mfd: ipaq-micro: Fix out-of-bounds stack read in ipaq_micro_str

[Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com>]

ipaq_micro_str() decodes a UTF-16LE string into an ASCII string.
It copies characters to a stack buffer retstr, but fails to
null-terminate it. When kstrdup() is called on retstr, it can read past
the buffer into uninitialized stack memory, potentially leaking stack
contents.

Fix this by initializing retstr to zero.
