[PATCH] net/mediatek: strlcpy withreturn

[PATCH] net/mediatek: strlcpy withreturn

[Azeem Shaikh]

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().

Direct replacement is safe here since DEV_ASSIGN is only used by
TRACE macros and the return values are ignored.

The title should be:

wifi: mt7601u: replace strlcpy() with strscpy()

I can fix that, no need to resend because of this.

Yup double-checked the users of the macros. Looks good to me.
