Subject[PATCH 1/1 v2] drivers/usb/chipidea/debuc.c: avoid out of bound read
Date
A string written by the user may not be zero terminated.

sscanf may read memory beyond the buffer if no zero byte
is found.

For testing build with CONFIG_USB_CHIPIDEA=y, CONFIG_USB_CHIPIDEA_DEBUG=y.

Version 2:
Use '\0' for char constant.
