[patch 01/10] parport: ieee1284 fixes and cleanups

From: marko . kohtala
Date: Mon Sep 05 2005 - 13:36:54 EST


Fix potential buffer overflow in case the device ID did not end in
semicolon. Also might fail to negotiate back to IEEE1284_MODE_COMPAT
in case of failure. parport_device_id did not return what
Documentation/parport-lowlevel.txt said, so I changed it to match it.

Determining device ID length is overly complicated, but Tim Waugh
recalled on linux-parport seeing some buggy device that might need it.
