GCC 13.2 complains about array subscript 17 is above array bounds of
'char[16]' with IFNAMSIZ set to 16.
The warning is correct but this scenario is impossible.
set_device_name is called by device_name_store (store sysfs entry) and
netdev_trig_activate.
device_name_store already check if size is >= of IFNAMSIZ and return
-EINVAL. (making the warning scenario impossible)
netdev_trig_activate works on already defined interface, where the name
has already been checked and should already follow the condition of
strlen() < IFNAMSIZ.
Aside from the scenario being impossible, set_device_name can be
improved to both mute the warning and make the function safer.
To make it safer, move size check from device_name_store directly to
set_device_name and prevent any out of bounds scenario.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
