This is done mainly for improving readability, and in preparation for the next patch, but Markus pointed out another bonus for the string being returned:
"No arbitrary length limit. Before the patch, it's 39 characters, and the code breaks catastrophically when qdev_fw_name() is longer: the second snprintf() is called with its first argument pointing beyond path[], and its second argument underflowing to a huge size."
