[PATCH] i2c: sun6i-pw2i: Prefer strscpy over strlcpy

From: Len Baker
Date: Tue Aug 17 2021 - 12:59:52 EST


strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first. This read may exceed the
destination size limit. This is both inefficient and can lead to linear
read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated. The safe
replacement is strscpy().

This is a previous step in the path to remove the strlcpy() function
entirely from the kernel [1].
