`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
bfa_ioc_get_adapter_manufacturer() simply copies a string literal into
`manufacturer`.
Another implementation of bfa_ioc_get_adapter_manufacturer() from
drivers/scsi/bfa/bfa_ioc.c uses memset + strscpy:
| void
| bfa_ioc_get_adapter_manufacturer(struct bfa_ioc_s *ioc, char *manufacturer)
| {
| memset((void *)manufacturer, 0, BFA_ADAPTER_MFG_NAME_LEN);
| strscpy(manufacturer, BFA_MFG_NAME, BFA_ADAPTER_MFG_NAME_LEN);
| }
Let's use `strscpy_pad` to eliminate some redundant work while still
NUL-terminating and NUL-padding the destination buffer.

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.
