Kees Cook 655862865c mod_devicetable: Enlarge the maximum platform_device_id name length
The 20 byte length of struct platform_device_id::name is not long enough
for many devices (especially regulators), where the string initialization
is getting truncated and missing the trailing NUL byte. This is seen
with GCC 15's -Wunterminated-string-initialization option:

drivers/regulator/hi6421v530-regulator.c:189:19: warning: initializer-string for array of 'char' truncates NUL terminator but destination lacks 'nonstring' attribute (21 chars into 20 available) [-Wunterminated-string-initialization]

Increase the length to 24, slightly more than is currently being used by
the affected drivers. The string is used in '%s' format strings and via
the module code, which appears to do its own length encoding. This size
was chosen because there was already a 4 byte hole in the structure:

struct platform_device_id {
        char                       name[20];             /*     0    20 */

        /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

        kernel_ulong_t             driver_data;          /*    24     8 */

        /* size: 32, cachelines: 1, members: 2 */
        /* sum members: 28, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
        /* last cacheline: 32 bytes */
};

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
