power: supply: surface_battery: 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 bat->name to be NUL-terminated based on its usage with strcmp(): power_supply_core.c: 445: return strcmp(psy->desc->name, name) == 0; ... and also by the manual `... - 1` for the length argument of the original strncpy() invocation. Furthermore, no NUL-padding is needed as bat is zero-allocated before calling spwr_battery_init(): 826: bat = devm_kzalloc(&sdev->dev, sizeof(*bat), GFP_KERNEL); 827: if (!bat) 828: return -ENOMEM; 829: 830: spwr_battery_init(bat, sdev, p->registry, p->name); ... this means any further NUL-byte assignments (like the ones that strncpy() does) are redundant. 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)).
