Subject: [patch] mfd: snprintf() returns largish values
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2010 09:50:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100812075009.GK645@bicker> (raw)
snprintf() returns the number of bytes which would have been written so
it can be larger than the size of the buffer. In this case it's fine,
but people copy and paste this code so I've fixed it.
