Increase the boot menu device name buffer so we can append extra

to the device name so users can differentiate drives in the EFI boot

for strl* helpers.
For example, the U-Boot boot menu now shows entries such as:
usb 0 (29.7 GiB, Generic Ultra HS-COMBO)
usb 1 (28.6 GiB, USB SanDisk 3.2Gen1)
scsi 0 (1 GiB, MICRON MT064GBCAV1U31AA)
Adding a descriptive text looks like a good idea to me. I am just not sure if
with the patch we are showing the relevant information.
nvme 0 (953 GiB, SKHynix_HFS001TEM4X169N)
nvme 1 (953 GiB, SKHynix_HFS001TEM4X169N)
nvme 2 (953 GiB, SKHynix_HFS001TEM4X169N)
I would not know if these are 3 namespaces on the same drive or different
drives.
yes that's limitation of this patch but more information could be added on the
top to differentiate the same devices.
Thanks,
