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 fw_info->fw_file_name to be NUL-terminated based on its use within _request_firmware_prepare() wherein `name` refers to it: | if (firmware_request_builtin_buf(firmware, name, dbuf, size)) { | dev_dbg(device, "using built-in %s\n", name); | return 0; /* assigned */ | } ... and with firmware_request_builtin() also via `name`: | if (strcmp(name, b_fw->name) == 0) { There is no evidence that NUL-padding is required. Additionally replace size macro (QLC_FW_FILE_NAME_LEN) with sizeof(fw_info->fw_file_name) to more directly tie the maximum buffer size to the destination buffer: 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.
