[PATCH] platform/x86: replace strcpy() with strscpy()

From: Melih Emik

Date: Wed May 06 2026 - 14:03:09 EST


Replace strcpy() with strscpy() in dell_rbu to use the preferred

kernel string API for bounded copies.

The destination buffer size is known at compile time

(sizeof(image_type)), so this conversion is safe.

No functional change intended.
