Greg Kroah-Hartman 86ff25ed6c i2c: dev: zero out array used for i2c reads from userspace
If an i2c driver happens to not provide the full amount of data that a
user asks for, it is possible that some uninitialized data could be sent
to userspace.  While all in-kernel drivers look to be safe, just be sure
by initializing the buffer to zero before it is passed to the i2c driver
so that any future drivers will not have this issue.

Also properly copy the amount of data recvieved to the userspace buffer,
as pointed out by Dan Carpenter.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
