PNP: replace deprecated strncpy() with memcpy()
strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous interfaces. After having precisely calculated the lengths and ensuring we don't overflow the buffer, this really decays to just a memcpy. Let's not use a C string api as it makes the intention of the code confusing. It'd be nice to use strscpy() in this case (as we clearly want NUL-termination) because it'd clean up the code a bit. However, I don't quite know enough about what is going on here to justify a drop-in replacement -- too much bit magic and why (PNP_NAME_LEN - 2)? I'm afraid using strscpy() may result in copying too many or too few bytes into our dev->name buffer resulting in different behavior. At least using memcpy() we can ensure the behavior is exactly the same. Side note: NUL-padding is not required because insert_device() calls pnpbios_parse_data_stream() with a zero-allocated `dev`: 299 | static int __init insert_device(struct pnp_bios_node *node) { ... 312 | dev = pnp_alloc_dev(&pnpbios_protocol, node->handle, id); ... 316 | pnpbios_parse_data_stream(dev, node); then pnpbios_parse_data_stream() calls pnpbios_parse_compatible_ids().
