Linus Torvalds b59dfdaef1 i2c-hid: properly terminate i2c_hid_dmi_desc_override_table[] array 
Commit 9ee3e06610 ("HID: i2c-hid: override HID descriptors for certain
devices") added a new dmi_system_id quirk table to override certain HID
report descriptors for some systems that lack them.

But the table wasn't properly terminated, causing the dmi matching to
walk off into la-la-land, and starting to treat random data as dmi
descriptor pointers, causing boot-time oopses if you were at all
unlucky.

Terminate the array.

We really should have some way to just statically check that arrays that
should be terminated by an empty entry actually are so.  But the HID
people really should have caught this themselves, rather than have me
deal with an oops during the merge window.  Tssk, tssk.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
