non-binderfs binder devices do not have their limit set to
BINDERFS_NAME_MAX. That's why the check has likely been made specific to
binderfs binder devices which do have that limit.

But, in practice, 255 is the standard path-part limit that no-one really
exceeds especially not for stuff such as device nodes which usually have
rather standard naming schemes (e.g. binder, vndbinder, hwbinder, etc.).
So yes, we can move that check before both the binderfs binder device
and non-binderfs binder device parsing code and treat it as a generic
check.
Then we can also backport that check as you requested in the other mail.
Unless Hridya or Todd have objections, of course.
