This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

serial: sc16is7xx: remove wasteful static buffer in

to my tty git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git in the tty-testing branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will be merged to the tty-next branch sometime soon, after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

From 6bcab3c8acc88e265c570dea969fd04f137c8a4c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugo Villeneuve hvilleneuve@dimonoff.com Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2023 12:13:48 -0500 Subject: serial: sc16is7xx: remove wasteful static buffer in sc16is7xx_regmap_name()

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.
