[PATCH] powerpc/dt_cpu_ftrs: Avoid separate strlen() in scan_callback()

From: Thorsten Blum <thorsten.blum@linux.dev>
Date: 2026-06-30 15:47:45
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

Use the return value of strscpy() when copying the display name instead
of checking the source string length with strlen() first.

Keep dt_cpu_name static but move it into dt_cpu_ftrs_scan_callback(),
where it is assigned.
