[PATCH] m68k: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy
From: Shankari02
Date: Wed Apr 16 2025 - 01:31:42 EST
The use of strncpy() does not guarantee NUL-termination and is deprecated
in the Linux kernel. This code manually terminates the buffer afterward,
but using strscpy() is simpler and safer.
This change replaces the strncpy() + NUL termination pattern with strscpy().
