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().
