strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. 'hw' is kzalloc'd just before this string assignment: | hw = kzalloc(sizeof(struct csio_hw), GFP_KERNEL); ... which means any NUL-padding is redundant. Since CSIO_DRV_VERSION is a small string literal (smaller than sizeof(dest)): ... there is functionally no change in this swap from strncpy() to strscpy(). Nonetheless, let's make the change for robustness' sake -- as it will ensure that drv_version is _always_ NUL-terminated.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
