remoteproc: amd_mbv_bram: Bound device name formatting
Pass the device name through a constant format string to prevent percent
conversions in the device name from consuming nonexistent variadic arguments,
and bound it to 31 characters.

[Severity: Medium]
Could this introduce a regression where the carveout memory leaks?
If rproc_parse_fw() fails during boot (for instance, due to a memory
allocation failure in rproc_elf_load_rsc_table()), the error path in
rproc_fw_boot() bypasses rproc_resource_cleanup():
drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_core.c:rproc_fw_boot() {
...
ret = rproc_parse_fw(rproc, fw);
if (ret)
goto unprepare_rproc;
...
clean_up_resources:
rproc_resource_cleanup(rproc);
...
unprepare_rproc:
rproc_unprepare_device(rproc);
...
}
Because the driver adds the carveout to rproc->carveouts shortly after this
allocation:
mem = rproc_mem_entry_init(...);
if (!mem)
return -ENOMEM;
rproc_add_carveout(rproc, mem);
And relies on the core's rproc_resource_cleanup() for cleanup, the carveout
would remain on the list if parsing fails.
Subsequent rproc_boot() attempts would then call prepare() again, potentially
adding duplicate carveouts and causing unbounded list growth.
