Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: zynqmp: Fix stack-out-of-bounds in strncpy`
"BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in strncpy+0x30/0x68"
Linux-ATF interface is using 16 bytes of SMC payload. In case clock name is
longer than 15 bytes, string terminated NULL character will not be received
by Linux. Add explicit NULL character at last byte to fix issues when clock
name is longer.
This fixes below bug reported by KASAN:
