Hi,
the only solution I could find is to add this line just before snprintf:

    BUG_ON(port_id > MAX310X_MAX_PORTS);

it allows us to have the smallest buffer size possible.

One other solution would be to change port_id from "unsigned int"
to "u8", and increase the buffer by an additional 2 bytes to silence
the warning, but then wasting 2 bytes for each channel, like so:

static const char *max310x_regmap_name(u8 port_id)
{
    static char buf[
        sizeof(MAX310X_PORT_NAME_SUFFIX __stringify(UCHAR_MAX))];

I prefer solution 1, unless there is another solution that I am
unaware of.

Hugo.
