Subject: [PATCH 4.9 056/218] video: fbdev: fbcvt.c: fix printing in fb_cvt_print_name()

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

[ Upstream commit 78482af095abd9f4f29f1aa3fe575d25c6ae3028 ]

This code has two bugs:
1) "cnt" is 255 but the size of the buffer is 256 so the last byte is
   not used.
2) If we try to print more than 255 characters then "cnt" will be
   negative and that will trigger a WARN() in snprintf(). The fix for
   this is to use scnprintf() instead of snprintf().

We can re-write this code to be cleaner:
1) Rename "offset" to "off" because that's shorter.
2) Get rid of the "cnt" variable and just use "size - off" directly.
3) Get rid of the "read" variable and just increment "off" directly.

Fixes: 96fe6a2109db ("fbdev: Add VESA Coordinated Video Timings (CVT) support")
