Why is this needed in prom.c ?

This game with prom_strcpy() should go a separate preceeding patch.

Also, it looks like checkpatch.pl recommends to use strscpy() instead of strlcpy().

So we are referencing a function that doesn't exist (namely prom_strlcat).
But it works because cmdline_add_builtin_custom() looks like a function but is in fact an obscure 
macro that doesn't use prom_strlcat() unless GENERIC_CMDLINE_NEED_STRLCAT is defined.

IMHO that's awful for readability and code maintenance.

Should be in a separate patch.
