<pedant_mode>
o size_t is an abstraction to deal with arbitrary sizes
o an unnecessary <= 0 test exists
o using sizeof(drivername) reduces a dependency on a magic number
o netdev_drivername calls strlcpy with implicit cast to size_t
$ grep strlcpy include/linux/string.h
size_t strlcpy(char *, const char *, size_t);
Your choice. Cheers, Joe
