Subject: x86: intel-mid: fix a format string overflow warning

We have space for exactly one character for the index in "max7315_%d_base",
but as gcc points out having more would cause an string overflow:

arch/x86/platform/intel-mid/device_libs/platform_max7315.c: In function 'max7315_platform_data':
arch/x86/platform/intel-mid/device_libs/platform_max7315.c:41:26: error: '%d' directive writing between 1 and 11 bytes into a region of size 9 [-Werror=format-overflow=]
   sprintf(base_pin_name, "max7315_%d_base", nr);
                          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/platform/intel-mid/device_libs/platform_max7315.c:41:26: note: directive argument in the range [-2147483647, 2147483647]
arm-soc/arch/x86/platform/intel-mid/device_libs/platform_max7315.c:41:3: note: 'sprintf' output between 15 and 25 bytes into a destination of size 17
   sprintf(base_pin_name, "max7315_%d_base", nr);

This makes it use an snprintf() to truncate the string if that happened
rather than overflowing the stack.
