variable name can have Non NULL terminated string after cropping
which may result strcat to fail, and cropping is not
required if (strlen(oh->name) + 8 < MOD_CLK_MAX_NAME_LEN).

Issue caught with static analysis tool:
"Dangerous usage of 'name' (strncpy doesn't always 0-terminate it)"
Maybe switch to strlcpy() ?
