That's perfectly fine and intended. MAX_SUPPLIES is a max, any list
shorther than that is valid. Any longer list will result in probe()
being aborted with a clear error message.

As per above it's not necessary to add a new name when MAX_SUPPLIES is
increased to support more non-generic names. It would only be necessary
if more generic names were added, my understanding is that this
should not happen because any newly supported onboard devices are
supposed to use device specific supply names. I don't like to idea of
adding unused pseudo supply names to the list, just for the sake of
using ARRAY_SIZE.

Please let me know if you still think the extra names are needed.
