`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1]. We need to prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. `obj_desc->(type|label)` are expected to be NUL-terminated strings as per "include/linux/fsl/mc.h +143" | ... | * struct fsl_mc_obj_desc - Object descriptor | * @type: Type of object: NULL terminated string | ... It seems `cmd_params->obj_type` is also expected to be a NUL-terminated string. A suitable replacement is `strscpy_pad` due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer whilst keeping the NUL-padding behavior that `strncpy` provides. Padding may not strictly be necessary but let's opt to keep it as this ensures no functional change.

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.
