On some configurations, gcc warns about overlapping source and destination
arguments to snprintf:
drivers/scsi/pm8001/pm8001_init.c: In function 'pm8001_request_msix':
drivers/scsi/pm8001/pm8001_init.c:977:3: error: 'snprintf' argument 4 may overlap destination object 'pm8001_ha' [-Werror=restrict]
977 | snprintf(drvname, len, "%s-%d", pm8001_ha->name, i);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/scsi/pm8001/pm8001_init.c:962:56: note: destination object referenced by 'restrict'-qualified argument 1 was declared here
962 | static u32 pm8001_request_msix(struct pm8001_hba_info *pm8001_ha)
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~
I first assumed this was a gcc bug, as that should not happen, but a
reduced test case makes it clear that this happens when the loop counter is
not bounded by the array size.
Help the compiler out by adding an explicit limit here to make the code
slightly more robust and avoid the 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 Restructured Text 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.
