That's actually the first thing these functions do.

They completely clear out the on-stack llcp_addr, then they copy only
as much as the user gave them, being careful not to use more than
sizeof(llcp_addr).

memset(&llcp_addr, 0, sizeof(llcp_addr));
len = min_t(unsigned int, sizeof(llcp_addr), alen);
memcpy(&llcp_addr, addr, len);

I don't see what the problem is, you'll need to be more specific.

Even wrt. llcp_sock->service_name, the code limits the string to
NFC_LLCP_MAX_SERVICE_NAME.
