Dan,

What's your opinion on below alternative patch?
In addition to yours it makes would-overflow visible.

It does not check for output buffer having non-zero size but
as callers are local with #defined buffer size I don't think that would
be needed.

Subject: HID: picoLCD: bounds check in dump_buff_as_hex()

Make sure we keep enough space for terminating NUL character after last
newline. If we have too much data, replace last byte with '.'s to
make overflow visible.

Using hex_dump_to_buffer() is not interesting as it adds more overhead
and does not append the trailing linefeed.
