From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 0bd46e22c5ec3dbfb81b60de475151e3f6b411c2 upstream. This was intended to limit the number of characters printed from "subsys->serial" to NVMET_SN_MAX_SIZE. But accidentally the width specifier was used instead of the precision specifier so it only affects the alignment and not the number of characters printed.
