[PATCH] hwmon: (pmbus/ibm-cffps) fix format-truncation warning

From: hanzhijian

Date: Fri Aug 21 2026 - 07:57:50 EST


snprintf() with "%02X" and "%04X" specifiers on an int argument
triggers -Wformat-truncation (and thus a build failure with
CONFIG_WERROR) because GCC assumes the int can hold a value wider
than the destination buffer.

The value comes from i2c_smbus_read_byte_data() and
i2c_smbus_read_word_data(), which return at most 8 and 16 bits
respectively, so mask the value to make that explicit and silence
the warning.
