[PATCH] fbdev: platinumfb: replace strcpy with strscpy

From: yuebingkun <hidden>
Date: 2026-08-17 03:18:24
Also in: dri-devel, lkml
Subsystem: framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

strcpy() is deprecated for use on fixed-size buffers. Replace it with
strscpy() to avoid potential buffer overflow issues.

Found by checkpatch.pl:
WARNING: Prefer strscpy over strcpy
