I guess that's meant to be line 1038?

That printk uses str, not osi_additional_string.

That will break the test in acpi_os_validate_interface for strings
longer than OSI_STRING_LENGTH_MAX (incl. the NUL byte). And that's the
only other user of osi_additional_string and doesn't require the
terminating NUL byte. So this shouldn't be needed.
