Device name length restriction?

[Paul Goyette <paul%whooppee.com@localhost>]

I've been trying to do some investigation with the I2C device on my 
machine that responds to address 0x2E.  It _should_ be an adt7463c 
device;  at the very least, if I configure "adt7463c0 at iic1 addr 0x2e" 
it should call the match function.

Well, it appears that it doesn't work!

Further, if I boot that same kernel with 'boot -c' option, and then try 
to find or disable or enable adt7463c0 I get an "invalid argument" error 
message.  The same find/enable/disable commands work for other devices, 
so I'm wondering if maybe there's an internal undocumented limit on the 
devicename length?

I could go groveling thru the source code to find the 'boot -c' code, 
but figured if I ask here first someone might have an answer off the top 
of their head!
