Subject: [PATCH] test_firmware: fix setting old custom fw path back on exit,
second try
commit 1dc54bb7046d90447fc92e982f90df57eb3bce37 upstream.
Commit 65c79230576 tried to clear the custom firmware path on exit by
writing a single space to the firmware_class.path parameter. This
doesn't work because nothing strips this space from the value stored
and fw_get_filesystem_firmware() only ignores zero-length paths.
Instead, write a null byte.
Fixes: 0a8adf58475 ("test: add firmware_class loader test")
Fixes: 65c79230576 ("test_firmware: fix setting old custom fw path back on exit")
