| |
`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces.
We expect project_name to be NUL-terminated based on its use with pr_info: | pr_info("PRCMU firmware: %s(%d), version %d.%d.%d\n", | fw_info.version.project_name, | fw_info.version.project, | fw_info.version.api_version, | fw_info.version.func_version, | fw_info.version.errata);
Moreover, NUL-padding does not seem to be needed.
Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without unnecessarily NUL-padding.
Let's also change `PRCMU_FW_PROJECT_NAME_LEN` to just sizeof(fw_info.version.project_name) as this is more idiomatic strscpy usage.
