The buffer bgx_sel used in snprintf() was too small to safely hold
the formatted string "BGX%d" for all valid bgx_id values. This caused
a -Wformat-truncation warning with `Werror` enabled during build.
Increase the buffer size from 5 to 7 and use `sizeof(bgx_sel)` in
snprintf() to ensure safety and suppress the warning.
Build warning:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
