power: supply: bq2515x: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy
strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
We expect bq2515x->model_name to be NUL-terminated based on its usage with
sysfs_emit and format strings:
val->strval is assigned to bq2515x->model_name in
bq2515x_mains_get_property():
| val->strval = bq2515x->model_name;
... then in power_supply_sysfs.c we use value.strval with a format string:
| ret = sysfs_emit(buf, "%s\n", value.strval);
we assigned value.strval via:
| ret = power_supply_get_property(psy, psp, &value);
... which invokes psy->desc->get_property():
| return psy->desc->get_property(psy, psp, val);
with bq2515x_mains_get_property():
| static const struct power_supply_desc bq2515x_mains_desc = {
...
| .get_property = bq2515x_mains_get_property,
Moreover, no NUL-padding is required as bq2515x is zero-allocated in
bq2515x_charger.c:
| bq2515x = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*bq2515x), GFP_KERNEL);
Considering the above, a suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to
the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer
without unnecessarily NUL-padding.
Let's also opt to use the more idiomatic strscpy() usage of (dest, src,
sizeof(dest)) as this more closely ties the destination buffer and the
length.
