ALSA: firewire-tascam: off by one in identify_model()

Commit Message

In the original code, we potentially put a NUL character in model[8] and
it caused a static checker warning.  We can put the NUL in model[7]
instead.

I guess it's better to expand model[] to 9 bytes instead.  The logic
is to retrieve the string from the config rom, and it's up to 8
letters.


thanks,

I think this idea is better, too.
