[PATCH v2 1/2] axis-fifo: use devm_kasprintf() for allocating formatted strings

From: Prathu Baronia
Date: Sun May 14 2023 - 09:02:10 EST


In various places, string buffers of a fixed size are allocated, and
filled using snprintf() with the same fixed size, which is error-prone.

Replace this by calling devm_kasprintf() instead, which always uses the
appropriate size.
