It would be clearer if you replaced 5 with strlen("of:NT"), but...

...if I understand of_device_get_modalias() correctly you should be able
to replace this function with:

  size = of_device_get_modalias(dev, NULL, 0);

snprintf() will not write to NULL, csize will be larger than 0 so tsize
will be returned before it will memcpy() to the buffer.
