This can be simplified to:
snprintf(..., "%pOFn", to_of_node(fwnode))
But that presents a problem with knowing the length. Not passing in
the buf length is not good design because you can't tell if you
overflow the buffer. Either you can pass in the length of buf or do
the allocation here. In the latter case, then you can use kasnprintf.
The downside to doing the allocation here is then get_name() has side
effect of allocating memory that the caller needs to be aware of.
However, I think the current API is better. It leaves low-level
details up to the firmware implementation. But as long as .get_name()
is not exposed to drivers I don't really care that much.
