Dear Kunwu,


Thank you for your patch. I have some minor nits.

Please don’t enclose it in '': Commit 1978d3ead82c ("intel: fix string truncation warnings")

fix '-Wformat-truncation=' warnings in igb_main.c by using kasprintf.

fix*es*

Thanks i'll rewirte the commit msg and add some warnings.

kasprintf() returns a pointer to dynamically allocated memory
which can be NULL upon failure.

Maybe paste one warning message.

Thanks again.

Fix this warning by using a larger space for adapter->fw_version,
and then fall back and continue to use snprintf.
