Hm.

If you absolutely want to do this you have to

#define PINCTRL_PREFIX "pinctrl-"

char propname[strlen(PINCTRL_PREFIX) + sizeof(int)*2 + 4] = PINCTRL_PREFIX;

Then add a comment above stating why you add 4.

Another option would be to just add a NULL-check? This is
definately not on a performance-critical path.
