[PATCH v3 01/18] gpio: uapi: define GPIO_MAX_NAME_SIZE for array sizes

From: Kent Gibson
Date: Sun Aug 09 2020 - 09:26:05 EST


Replace constant array sizes with a macro constant to clarify the source
of array sizes, provide a place to document any constraints on the size,
and to simplify array sizing in userspace if constructing structs
from their composite fields.
