[4/5] dma: tegra: reduce channel name field size

[Ben Dooks]

The name field is used for "apbdma.%d" which is rarely going to be
more than 10 bytes, so reduce the size from 30 to 12. This is only
being used by the interrupt registration, so is not critical to the
operation of the driver either.

Do you mean 'never' above instead of 'rarely'? The max number of
channels is never more than 2 digits and so the change is fine with
me. So for the change ...

I've never seen a system with more than 64 channels in it, but it didn't
seem worth trying to get it below 12 anyway.

I see. If you look at the 'nr_channels' definition for the various Tegra
devices that use this driver, there is nothing more than 32. So for this
driver the max is 32. Newer Tegra devices are not using this anymore and
so in the case of this specific driver we can say 'never' (although I
understand now you meant rarely in the general case).
