[PATCH v4] video: fbdev: via: refactor strcpy and viafb_name

[Ajith P V]

Eliminate the single-use file-scope variable `viafb_name` and pass the
"Via" string literal directly to strcpy().

Since "Via" is a literal constant, the compiler safely executes
compile-time bounds checking during fortify verification. This satisfies
the security initiative requirements while minimizing code complexity.

v4:
  - Drop the variable entirely and use the literal string directly in
    strcpy() as suggested by Helge Deller.
v3:
  - Restore the original "Via" string value to prevent userspace ABI
    regressions, while keeping the 'static const char[]' optimization as
    suggested by Sashiko AI.
v2:
  - Keep variable static but change it to a const array
    'static const char viafb_name[] = "viafb"' as suggested by Helge Deller
    to let the compiler leverage compile-time checks.
