Since the version string we get from the firmware is always 128
characters long, use a define for this size instead of having the number
128 copied all over the place.

Thanks for this patch. For the series:

Not related to your patch, but this highlights that nobody is ensuring
this string is 0-terminated, and various other places (notably, *not*
your patch 2!) assume that it is.

We should either fix those to use an snprintf()/length-restricted
variant, or else just force:

		priv->version_str[MWIFIEX_VERSION_STR_LENGTH - 1] = '\0';

here.

Indeed, right now we just trust the firmware to make sure that's the case.

Let me add another patch appending the '\0' to priv->version_str...


But that's a separate issue/patch. I can cook one on top of your series
when it gets merged if you don't want to.
