[PATCH v3 1/2] axis-fifo: use devm_kasprintf() for allocating formatted strings

From: Prathu Baronia
Date: Thu May 18 2023 - 10:52:12 EST


In various places, string buffers of a fixed size are allocated, and
filled using snprintf() with the same fixed size, which is error-prone.

Replace this by calling devm_kasprintf() instead, which always uses the
appropriate size.

Also fix an old smatch warning reported by lkp introduced by commit
d2d7aa53891e. In the mentioned commit we had used "%pa" format specifier
for a void* type and hence smatch complained about its use instead of
"%p".
