Subject: [patch] sbshc: acpi_device_class "smbus_host_controller" too long
Date: Fri, 19 Mar 2010 14:44:11 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100319114411.GM5331@bicker> (raw)

acpi_device_class can only be 19 characters and a NULL terminator.

With the current name we get a buffer overflow in acpi_smbus_hc_add()
when we do: 
	strcpy(acpi_device_class(device), ACPI_SMB_HC_CLASS);
