[PATCH v2] ALSA: mixer_oss: Remove deprecated strcpy() function calls

From: Thorsten Blum
Date: Mon Jun 23 2025 - 07:40:33 EST


Remove the deprecated strcpy() function calls and assign the strings
directly to a 'char *' instead.

Use 'if/else if' instead of two separate if statements.

No functional changes intended.
