`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].
We should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces.
We expect adap->name to be NUL-terminated based on i2c_adapter name use:
| dev_dbg(&adap->dev, "adapter [%s] registered\n", adap->name);
NUL-padding does not seem to be required as `master` is zero-allocated
and `i3c_master_to_i2c_adapter` simply returns a field from within
`master`:
| master = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*master), GFP_KERNEL);
...
| struct i2c_adapter *adap = i3c_master_to_i2c_adapter(master);
...
| static struct i2c_adapter *
| i3c_master_to_i2c_adapter(struct i3c_master_controller *master)
| {
| return &master->i2c;
| }
This means that `adap->name` should already be filled with NUL-bytes.
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.

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.
