| |
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 suitable replacement is strscpy() [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding.
bcm_enet_get_drvinfo() already uses strscpy(), let's match it's implementation: | static void bcm_enet_get_drvinfo(struct net_device *netdev, | struct ethtool_drvinfo *drvinfo) | { | strscpy(drvinfo->driver, bcm_enet_driver_name, sizeof(drvinfo->driver)); | strscpy(drvinfo->bus_info, "bcm63xx", sizeof(drvinfo->bus_info)); | }
Note that now bcm_enet_get_drvinfo() and bcm_enetsw_get_drvinfo() do the exact same thing.
