W=1 pcie-mediatek.c snprintf warnings

Just noticed the following errors in W=1 builds.  I doubt there's any
real way to actually overflow the buffer given constraints in the
code, but these are the only warnings in drivers/pci/, so I'd like to
get them fixed so W=1 is more useful:

  $ make W=1 drivers/pci/controller/pcie-mediatek.o
    CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh
    DESCEND objtool
    INSTALL libsubcmd_headers
    CC      drivers/pci/controller/pcie-mediatek.o
  drivers/pci/controller/pcie-mediatek.c: In function ‘mtk_pcie_parse_port’:
