Re: [PATCH] drivers/soc: Remove all strcpy() uses in favor of strscpy()

Hi Len,

On Sun, Jul 25, 2021 at 5:15 PM Len Baker [off-list ref] wrote:
strcpy() performs no bounds checking on the destination buffer. This
could result in linear overflows beyond the end of the buffer, leading
to all kinds of misbehaviors. The safe replacement is strscpy().

Thanks for your patch!

Any chance the almost one year old question in that ticket can be
answered?

I wouldn't mind a shorter name, like "n".
