The following patch drop VCHIQ_FOURCC_AS_4CHARS macro in favour of %p4cc
format modifier to print FourCC codes in the logs.

*Before this patch*
`mailbox: vchiq_core_msg debug: Sent Msg DATA(5) to AUDS s:1 d:62 len:20`

*After this patch*
bcm2835_vchiq 3f00b840.mailbox: vchiq_core_msg debug: Sent Msg DATA(5) to SDUA little-endian (0x41554453) s:1 d:62 len:20

The inversion of AUDS to SDUA as per usage of %p4cc
Does it hamper readability ? Feedback is appreciated.

As documented in the commit message, the 'entity' char array length is
increased to hold more characters for the log output. Not doing so,
causes kernel stack corruption at runtime.
