On some platforms there are some platform devices created with
invalid names. For example: "HID-SENSOR-INT-020b?.39.auto" instead
of "HID-SENSOR-INT-020b.39.auto"
This string include some invalid characters, hence it will fail to
properly load the driver which will handle this custom sensor. Also
it is a problem for some user space tools, which parses the device
names from ftrace and dmesg.
This is because the string, real_usage, is not NULL terminated and
printed with %s to form device name.
To address this, initialize the real_usage string with 0s.
