Looks good apart from the strscpy() change, which is broken by the
(char *) cast. Using the 3-argument version worked here.

With the strscpy() fixed, this is:

This is broken: we still need to pass the length of suite->name. The
(char *) cast, which is necessary to remove the 'cosnt' qualifier,
stops the strscpy() macro from treating suite->name as an array.
