fbdev: fsl-diu-fb: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy_pad
strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. A better alternative is strscpy() as it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer. Since we are eventually copying over to userspace, let's ensure we NUL-pad the destination buffer by using the pad variant of strscpy. - core/fb_chrdev.c: 234 | err = copy_to_user(&fix32->id, &fix->id, sizeof(fix32->id)); Furthermore, we can use the new 2-argument variants of strscpy() and strscpy_pad() introduced by Commit e6584c39 ("string: Allow 2-argument strscpy()") to simplify the syntax even more.
