Tejun pointed out:

"dev_t is 32bits and MINORBITS is 20.  So, major 12 bits, minor 20
bits, so 4 characters for major, 7 characters for minor."

That would mean: 4+':'+7+'\0' = 13 characters at a minimum, so attached
patch seems to work...
[PATCH] Set major,minor buffers to 13 character to hold largest values

Need 4 for major, 7 for minor, 1 for the separator plus 1 for the
terminator.
