`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 `dst` to be NUL-terminated based on its use with format strings: | mlx4_dbg(dev, "Reporting Driver Version to FW: %s\n", dst); Moreover, NUL-padding is not required. 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.
