xhci_decode_usbsts() is expected to return a zero-terminated string by its only caller, xhci_stop_endpoint_command_watchdog(), which directly logs the return value: xhci_warn(xhci, "USBSTS:%s\n", xhci_decode_usbsts(str, usbsts)); However, if no recognized bits are set in usbsts, the function will return without having called any sprintf() and therefore return an untouched non-zero-terminated caller-provided buffer, causing garbage to be output to log. Fix that by always including the raw value in the output. Note that before 4843b4b5ec64 ("xhci: fix even more unsafe memory usage in xhci tracing") the result effect in the failure case was different as a static buffer was used here, but the code still worked incorrectly. Fixes: 9c1aa36efdae ("xhci: Show host status when watchdog triggers and host is assumed dead.")
