Re: Resend [PATCH] Make KOBJ_NAME_LEN match BUS_ID_SIZE

[Ben Collins <bcollins@debian.org>]

Given that the problem with KOBJ_NAME_LEN == 20 affecting one snd driver
has so far only been explained as a compiler bug, can I suggest this
patch be applied? Even aside from the KOBJ_NAME_LEN == 20, the snprintf
changes will keep things from breaking in other ways that are current
now.
