Subject: [PATCH 5/9] surface3_power: avoid format string truncation warning

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

clang warns about printing a pair of escaped strings into a buffer that is
too short:

drivers/platform/surface/surface3_power.c:248:3: error: 'snprintf' will always be truncated; specified size is 10, but format string expands to at least 12 [-Werror,-Wformat-truncation-non-kprintf]
  248 |                 snprintf(bix->serial, ARRAY_SIZE(bix->serial), "%3pE%6pE", buf + 7, buf);
      |                 ^

Change the format string two print two less bytes so it always fits. The string
is still truncated, so there is no change in behavior, but the compiler no
longer warns about it.

Not entirely sure about this one, as I've never used escaped strings, and
don't know if gcc is correct to warn here, or if the kernel defines it
differently from the standard.
