From 9b4f1f5a0801652056670a38503b4049eb413caf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Justin Stitt Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2023 18:29:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 03/30] net: dsa: mt7530: replace deprecated strncpy with ethtool_sprintf `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.
