power: supply: surface-charger: 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 ac->name to be NUL-terminated based on its usage with format
strings:
surface_charger.c:
190: ac->psy_desc.name = ac->name;
...
power_supply_core.c:
174: dev_dbg(&psy->dev, "%s: Found supply : %s\n",
175: psy->desc->name, epsy->desc->name);
Moreover, NUL-padding is not required as ac is already zero-allocated
before being passed to spwr_ac_init():
surface_charger.c:
240: ac = devm_kzalloc(&sdev->dev, sizeof(*ac), GFP_KERNEL);
241: if (!ac)
242: return -ENOMEM;
243:
244: spwr_ac_init(ac, sdev, p->registry, p->name);
... this means any future 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 for the more idiomatic strscpy() usage of:
(dest, src, sizeof(dest))
