commit d7f393430a17c2bfcdf805462a5aa80be4285b27 upstream.
In order to be sure that 'buff' is never truncated, its size should be
12, not 11.
When building with W=1, this fixes the following warnings:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/sysfs.c: In function ‘add_port_entries’:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/sysfs.c:268:34: error: ‘sprintf’ may write a terminating nul past the end of the destination [-Werror=format-overflow=]
268 | sprintf(buff, "%d", i);
| ^
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/sysfs.c:268:17: note: ‘sprintf’ output between 2 and 12 bytes into a destination of size 11
268 | sprintf(buff, "%d", i);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/sysfs.c:286:34: error: ‘sprintf’ may write a terminating nul past the end of the destination [-Werror=format-overflow=]
286 | sprintf(buff, "%d", i);

drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx4/sysfs.c:286:17: note: ‘sprintf’ output between 2 and 12 bytes into a destination of size 11
