That's a valid concern.

Did you consider increasing the size of RPMSG_NAME_SIZE to 64? Have
you found cases where that wouldn't work?  I did a survey of all the
places the #define is used and all destination buffers are also using
the same #define in their definition.  It would also be backward
compatible with firmware implementations that use 32 byte.

Thanks,
Mathieu
