Thanks for your patch!

While this guarantees buf is not overflowed...

... one of the two strings can still be longer than PINMUX_MAX_NAME,
thus overflowing fname or gname.

As buf is already a copy, it may be easier to just find the strings in
buf, write the NUL terminators into buf, and set up fname and gname
to point to the strings inside buf.

I don't think you need to fill in .read for a write-only file.
