nfp: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy
strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
We expect res->name to be NUL-terminated based on its usage with format
strings:
| dev_err(cpp->dev.parent, "Dangling area: %d:%d:%d:0x%0llx-0x%0llx%s%s\n",
| NFP_CPP_ID_TARGET_of(res->cpp_id),
| NFP_CPP_ID_ACTION_of(res->cpp_id),
| NFP_CPP_ID_TOKEN_of(res->cpp_id),
| res->start, res->end,
| res->name ? " " : "",
| res->name ? res->name : "");
... and with strcmp()
| if (!strcmp(res->name, NFP_RESOURCE_TBL_NAME)) {
Moreover, NUL-padding is not required as `res` is already
zero-allocated:
| res = kzalloc(sizeof(*res), GFP_KERNEL);
Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to
the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer
without unnecessarily NUL-padding.
Let's also opt to use the more idiomatic strscpy() usage of (dest, src,
sizeof(dest)) rather than (dest, src, SOME_LEN).
Typically the pattern of 1) allocate memory for string, 2) copy string
into freshly-allocated memory is a candidate for kmemdup_nul() but in
this case we are allocating the entirety of the `res` struct and that
should stay as is. As mentioned above, simple 1:1 replacement of strncpy
-> strscpy :)
