`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces. We expect `iclock->name` to be NUL-terminated based on its use within printk: | printk(KERN_DEBUG "%s: %s %d\n", __func__, iclock->name, | iclock->pri); `iclock` is zero-initialized and as such is already NUL-padded which means strncpy is doing extra work here by eagerly NUL-padding the destination buffer. 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.
