[PATCH] scsi: hpsa: Replace deprecated strncpy() with strscpy()
From: Thorsten Blum
Date: Wed Feb 12 2025 - 17:24:02 EST
strncpy() is deprecated for NUL-terminated destination buffers [1]. Use
strscpy() instead and remove the manual NUL-termination.
Use min() to simplify the size calculation.
Compile-tested only.
