hwmon: adm1275: Prevent reading uninitialized stack

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit 553f951781 ]

While adding support for the ROHM BD127X0 hot-swap controllers, sashiko
reported an error in device-name comparison, which can lead to reading
uninitialized stack memory.

Quoting Sashiko:

This is a pre-existing issue, but I noticed that just before this block in
adm1275_probe(), there might be an out-of-bounds stack read:

    ret = i2c_smbus_read_block_data(client, PMBUS_MFR_MODEL, block_buffer);
    if (ret < 0) { ... }
    for (mid = adm1275_id; mid->name[0]; mid++) {
            if (!strncasecmp(mid->name, block_buffer, strlen(mid->name)))
                    break;
    }

Since i2c_smbus_read_block_data() reads up to 32 bytes into the
uninitialized stack array block_buffer without appending a null
terminator, strncasecmp() could read past the valid bytes returned in ret.

For example, if the device returns a shorter string like "adm12", checking
it against "adm1275" up to the length of "adm1275" will continue reading
into uninitialized stack bounds.

Prevent reading uninitialized memory by zeroing the stack array.
