Subject: platform/x86: alienware-wmi: fix format string overflow warning
gcc points out a possible format string overflow for a large value of 'zone':
drivers/platform/x86/alienware-wmi.c: In function 'alienware_wmi_init':
drivers/platform/x86/alienware-wmi.c:461:24: error: '%02X' directive writing between 2 and 8 bytes into a region of size 6 [-Werror=format-overflow=]
sprintf(buffer, "zone%02X", i);
^~~~
drivers/platform/x86/alienware-wmi.c:461:19: note: directive argument in the range [0, 2147483646]
sprintf(buffer, "zone%02X", i);
^~~~~~~~~~
drivers/platform/x86/alienware-wmi.c:461:3: note: 'sprintf' output between 7 and 13 bytes into a destination of size 10
While the zone should never be that large, it's easy to make the
buffer a few bytes longer so gcc can prove this to be safe.
