[PATCH v2] video: fbdev: via: refactor strcpy and viafb_name

[Ajith P V <ajithpv.linux@gmail.com>]

Replace the deprecated and unbounded strcpy() function with the safer
strscpy() alternative when setting up the framebuffer fixed screen
information [1][2].

It aligns this driver with the ongoing kernel-wide security initiative
to eliminate unbounded string copies, hardening the code against future
modifications.

Additionally, convert the file-scope `viafb_name` pointer into a
`static const char[]` array and update its value to "viafb".
This permits the compiler to execute compile-time bounds checking and
aggressively optimize the runtime string copy operation out entirely.

This is a proactive API cleanup and there is no functional performance
or truncation risk.

v2:
  - Keep variable static but change it to a const array 
    'static const char viafb_name[] = "viafb"' as suggested by Helge Deller 
    to let the compiler leverage compile-time checks.
