As the key is required to be four characters plus trailing zero,
we know that the index has to be small here. I'm using snprintf()
to avoid the warning. This would truncate the string instead of
overflowing.

I submitted a more comprehensive patch a couple of days ago. There are other similar
sprintf() calls in the driver which gcc doesn't report.
