Building the bpmp-debugfs driver for Arm results in a warning for stack usage:

drivers/firmware/tegra/bpmp-debugfs.c:321:16: error: stack frame size of 1224 bytes in function 'bpmp_debug_store' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than=]
static ssize_t bpmp_debug_store(struct file *file, const char __user *buf,

It should be possible to rearrange the code to not require two separate
buffers for the file name, but the easiest workaround is to use dynamic
allocation.

I sent this one in 2020 but got no reply. It still appears to be
required, please have a look.

If this is not a problem on 64-bit ARM, then perhaps we should add that
as a dependency. BPMP is only available in Tegra210 and later, all of
which are 64-bit.

But dynamic allocation also doesn't sound that bad. This is debugfs
support, after all, so shouldn't be in any fast path.

Shouldn't this and...

 			strncmp(filename, root_path, root_len))

this reset filename to NULL? All callers check for !filename as their
error condition.

I can fix that up as I apply this, but perhaps shout if you did this on
purpose and it needs to stay this way.
