Thanks, that makes it nicer. Updated patch below.

That's for the mux signal name, which is different from the mux mode.

But looking over that, it should eventually be done with strlen + kmalloc
if the signal names for mode0 start increasing for new omaps. So added a
comment there for now.

Subject: [PATCH] omap: Fix arch/arm/mach-omap2/mux.c: Off by one error

David Binderman ran the sourceforge tool cppcheck over the source code of the
new Linux kernel 2.6.33-rc6:

[./arm/mach-omap2/mux.c:492]: (error) Buffer access out-of-bounds

13 characters + 1 digit + 1 zero byte is more than 14 characters.

Also add a comment on mode0 name length in case new omaps
start using longer names.
