Subject: [PATCH v2] platform/surface: Replace deprecated strcpy() in surface_button_add()
Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2026 15:50:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260105145045.52764-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
strcpy() has been deprecated [1] because it performs no bounds checking
on the destination buffer, which can lead to buffer overflows. Replace
it with the safer strscpy(). No functional changes.
Link: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/deprecated.html#strcpy [1]
Reviewed-by: Chen Yu <yu.c.chen@intel.com>

Changes in v2:
- Remove local variable 'name' (Ilpo)
- Update patch subject (Ilpo)
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260105121802.1947-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev/
