Some modules name are larger than 5 characters, this can be a problem to
add support for other modules. This patch, increase the maximum size in
order to enable other modules to use IGT.

This would need to be NAME_LEN + 1 to have room for the
null-termination.

But, is this patch really necessary? Are there false matches from
using a substring of 4 to match driver names?

Hi,

To test the force option, I used two drivers: Bochs and VKMS. I noticed
that Bochs failed to load because the module name is "bochs-drm".
Additionally, if we want to add a force option, I assume that someone
can have a module name larger than four characters. Make sense? Or Did I
missed something?

Thanks for your feedback

Driver name is still not the same as the kernel module name necessarily.

Sure, names can and are already larger than four characters
(e.g. "amdgpu"). But the driver matching uses the first four
characters of the name. The length of matching the driver name doesn't
need to be lengthened as of yet.

Kernel module name, again, is another thing entirely.
