PATCH v2 1/1 lib: string_helpers: silence snprintf() output truncation warning
From: Bartosz Golaszewski <[email protected]>
The output of ".%03u" with the unsigned int in range [0, 4294966295] may get truncated if the target buffer is not 12 bytes. This can't really happen here as the 'remainder' variable cannot exceed 999 but the compiler doesn't know it. To make it happy just increase the buffer to where the warning goes away.
