From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai at suse.de>
Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: x86: Fix driver name string overflow

The driver sets card->driver name string over its size (16 bytes).
Shorten the name string to fit with it.

Also, set more verbose string to card->shortname and ->longname.
This doesn't have to be identical with card->driver at all.
