Hi, All,
Sorry for response later.
>From below description, it seems not a buffer overrun issue, it's just caused by NULL terminated string, right?

I didn't realize that the issue was a buffer overrun. I tested the kernel built with this simple fix and it works ok now. i.e. this patch is is all that's needed:
diff --git a/drivers/hid/hid-sensor-custom.c b/drivers/hid/hid-sensor- custom.c index 3e3f89e01d81..d85398721659 100644

The change is so small it shouldn't require any rebasing. Just send the
patch to these emails (from MAINTAINERS):

No problem. It actually made sleepgraph better because it exposed a bug
in the ftrace processing code. I wasn't properly handling the corner
case where ftrace had binary data in it.
