OK but also not strictly necessary.  DAX_NAME_LEN is 30.

Are you finding and changing these manually or with a script?

since region_id and id are unsigned long may be devname should be
char[21].

I'm finding and changing these manually.

I think you need to look at the code a bit more carefully.

	unsigned int region_id, id;

Also the output is %d, so the maximum length of each output
int is 10 with a possible leading minus sign.

3 + 10 + 1 + 10 + 1.  So 25 not 21 which is too small.

The %d uses could be changed to %u to make it 23.
But really it hardly matters as 30 is sufficent and the
function call depth here isn't particularly high.
