Hi Nicolas,

Sorry for the late reply.

I am planning to include your patch with a Acked-by in a future patch serie.

Thanks a lot
Best Regards
Christophe

st21nfca_get_iso14443_3_uid() does not correctly copy the uid from
uid_skb->data to its gate parameter. "gate = uid_skb->data;" only puts
a pointer to uid_skb->data to the local variable gate. This means that
in st21nfca_hci_target_from_gate() the content of "u8
uid[NFC_NFCID1_MAXSIZE]" local variable is never initialized before
being used in memcpy(target->nfcid1, uid, len).

Fix this by replacing the local variable assignment with a memcpy.

This was found by compiling Linux with "gcc -Wunused-but-set-parameter".

As I did not get any reply from https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/28/25 and
got confirmation by other people that this may be a real bug, I am now
sending a patch to fix it.
