strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].
We should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces.
We expect adc->chan_name[val] to be NUL-terminated based on ch_name's
use within functions that expect NUL-terminated strings like strncmp and
printf-likes:
| if (!strncmp(stm32_adc_ic[i].name, ch_name, STM32_ADC_CH_SZ)) {
| /* Check internal channel availability */
| switch (i) {
| case STM32_ADC_INT_CH_VDDCORE:
| if (!adc->cfg->regs->or_vddcore.reg)
| dev_warn(&indio_dev->dev,
| "%s channel not available\n", ch_name);
...
There is no evidence that NUL-padding is needed either.
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. If, for any reason, NUL-padding _is_
required we should go for `strscpy_pad`.

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.
