[PATCH] devlink/param: replace deprecated strcpy() with strscpy()
From: Álvaro Costa
Date: Wed May 06 2026 - 17:14:33 EST
Replace strcpy() call used to extract a string parameter from param_data
with strscpy(). Since strscpy() already performs bounds checking and
ensures the destination string is NUL-terminated, remove the string
length check as well.
