The buffer bgx_sel used in snprintf() was too small to safely hold
the formatted string "BGX%d" for all valid bgx_id values. This caused
a -Wformat-truncation warning with `Werror` enabled during build.
Increase the buffer size from 5 to 7 and use `sizeof(bgx_sel)` in
snprintf() to ensure safety and suppress the warning.
