From: Philipp Hachtmann <hachti@xxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== commit 8ae25a355b5969e12f3185e8cb8eb08b871c9084 upstream. The scanner (here DS3508) always returns 64 bytes per urb buffer. The first byte indicates the data length used in the current buffer. There even was a comment describing this. But the comment also said that we'll send everything in the buffer to the tty layer. That means sending the actual barcode data and lots of trailing zeroes. This patch lets the driver only send the real data.
