4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Alex Vesker <valex@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 603b7bcff824740500ddfa001d7a7168b0b38542 ]
The NULL character was not set correctly for the string containing
the command length, this caused failures reading the output of the
command due to a random length. The fix is to initialize the output
length string.
Fixes: e126ba97dba9 ("mlx5: Add driver for Mellanox Connect-IB adapters")
