net/mlx5e: Correct snprintf truncation handling for fw_version buffer used by representors
[ Upstream commit b13559b76157de9d74f04d3ca0e49d69de3b5675 ]
snprintf returns the length of the formatted string, excluding the trailing
null, without accounting for truncation. This means that is the return
value is greater than or equal to the size parameter, the fw_version string
was truncated.
