I agree with the need to retain _notify name, but I'm not so sure about
the above patch...which is:


diff --git a/drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/notify.c b/drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/notify.c
index c24e427dce0d7..f60fa630dd98f 100644

...does not expose a potential buffer overflow given that the dev_name now comes
from the DT chosen name for this SCMI server instance ?

I'd use snprintf and enlarge a bit the static scmi_wq_name[] to fit a max
device bane plus "_notify".
