Subject: [PATCH] net: dsa: qca8k: replace deprecated strncpy with ethtool_sprintf
Date: Mon, 09 Oct 2023 18:34:45 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231009-strncpy-drivers-net-dsa-qca-qca8k-common-c-v1-1-34c8040e0f32@google.com> (raw)
`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
ethtool_sprintf() is designed specifically for get_strings() usage.
Let's replace strncpy in favor of this more robust and easier to
understand interface.
