[PATCH v2] mod_devicetable: Bump auxiliary_device_id name size

From: Raag Jadav

Date: Thu Nov 06 2025 - 00:29:02 EST


We have an upcoming driver named "intel_ehl_pse_io". This creates an
auxiliary child device for it's GPIO sub-functionality, which matches
against "intel_ehl_pse_io.gpio-elkhartlake" and overshoots the current
maximum limit of 32 bytes for auxiliary device id string. Bump the size
to 40 bytes to satisfy such cases.
