strcpy() is deprecated; use strscpy() instead.

No functional changes intended.

Thanks, applied now.

And now I'm going to convert all the rest of such trivial stuff
(strcpy() with card->driver, shortname, mixername, longname, as well
as pcm->name, and else) in sound/* for 6.17.

Yes, please :) I thought about submitting a patch series for all of
sound/*, but didn't find the time yet.

Thanks,

Note that strscpy() supports 3rd argument optionally, it means it's better
to use 2-arg variant when the destination is supposed to be an array of
characters.

Yes, most of Thomas' patches are using 2 arg variant, just replacing
strcpy() with strscpy().


thanks,
