Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] serial: sc16is7xx: remove wasteful static buffer in sc16is7xx_regmap_name()

From: Hugo Villeneuve <hvilleneuve@...onoff.com>

Using a static buffer inside sc16is7xx_regmap_name() was a convenient and
simple way to set the regmap name without having to allocate and free a
buffer each time it is called. The drawback is that the static buffer
wastes memory for nothing once regmap is fully initialized.

Remove static buffer and use constant strings instead.

This also avoids a truncation warning when using "%d" or "%u" in snprintf
which was flagged by kernel test robot.
