[PATCH] floppy: make local variable non-static

From: Rasmus Villemoes
Date: Tue Dec 01 2015 - 09:54:23 EST


There's no reason for temparea to be static, since it's only used for
temporary sprintf output. It's not immediately obvious that the output
will always fit (in the worst case, the output including '\0' is
exactly 32 bytes), so save a future reader from worrying about that.
