scnprintf() would be wrong here, since it's not actually a string
but a SCSI HW data structure with both binary and ASCII members
and no NUL termination. It's supposed to be padded with spaces.

I believe this sets the length of the buffer to 51 bytes when
pro_formatter_flag is set, overriding the 0x1f (31 bytes) for the
normal length.

The root of the problem here is that the driver emulates a SCSI
command set on a card reader for both SD cards and memory sticks
instead of using the existing abstractions from
drivers/{mmc,memstick}.

Apparently drivers/misc/cardreader/rtsx_pcr.c does this the
right way for all later devices (rts5209 and up) but is
not compatible with this variant of the hardware.
