platform/x86: alienware-wmi: fix format string overflow warning
gcc points out a possible format string overflow for a large value of 'zone': drivers/platform/x86/alienware-wmi.c: In function 'alienware_wmi_init': drivers/platform/x86/alienware-wmi.c:461:24: error: '%02X' directive writing between 2 and 8 bytes into a region of size 6 [-Werror=format-overflow=] sprintf(buffer, "zone%02X", i); ^~~~ drivers/platform/x86/alienware-wmi.c:461:19: note: directive argument in the range [0, 2147483646] sprintf(buffer, "zone%02X", i); ^~~~~~~~~~ drivers/platform/x86/alienware-wmi.c:461:3: note: 'sprintf' output between 7 and 13 bytes into a destination of size 10 This replaces the 'int' variable with an 'u8' to make sure it always fits, renaming the variable to 'zone' for clarity. Unfortunately, gcc-7.1.1 still warns about it with that change, which seems to be unintended by the gcc developers. I have opened a bug against gcc with a reduced test case. As a workaround, I also change the format string to use "%02hhX", which shuts up the warning in that version.
