Subject: sbshc: acpi_device_class "smbus_host_controller" too long
From: Dan Carpenter <error27@xxxxxxxxx>
acpi_device_class can only be 19 characters and a NULL terminator.
With the current name we get a buffer overflow in acpi_smbus_hc_add()
when we do:
strcpy(acpi_device_class(device), ACPI_SMB_HC_CLASS);
