Cleanup some deprecated uses of strncpy() and strcpy() [1]. There doesn't seem to be any bugs with the current code but the readability of this code could benefit from a quick makeover while removing some deprecated stuff as a benefit. The most interesting replacement made in this patch involves concatenating "ttyS" with a digit-led user-supplied string. Instead of doing two distinct string copies with carefully managed offsets and lengths, let's use the more robust and self-explanatory scnprintf(). scnprintf will 1) respect the bounds of @buf, 2) null-terminate @buf, 3) do the concatenation. This allows us to drop the manual NUL-byte assignment. Also, since isdigit() is used about a dozen lines after the open-coded version we'll replace it for uniformity's sake. All the strcpy() --> strscpy() replacements are trivial as the source strings are literals and much smaller than the destination size. No behavioral change here. Use the new 2-argument version of strscpy() introduced in Commit e6584c39 ("string: Allow 2-argument strscpy()"). However, to make this work fully (since the size must be known at compile time), also update the extern-qualified declaration to have the proper size information.
