Devlink string param buffer is allocated at the size of
DEVLINK_PARAM_MAX_STRING_VALUE. Add helper function which makes sure
this size is not exceeded.
Renamed DEVLINK_PARAM_MAX_STRING_VALUE to
__DEVLINK_PARAM_MAX_STRING_VALUE to emphasize that it should be used by
devlink only. The driver should use the helper function instead to
verify it doesn't exceed the allowed length.

History
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
