Subject: [PATCH] media: si2165: Replace strlcat() with snprintf()
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 12:26:38 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <akafTmRDnPK4L3A1@dev> (raw)
In preparation for removing the strlcat() API[1], replace its uses in
si2165_probe(). The chip name and the supported delivery systems are
already known when the frontend name is built, so the whole name can be
produced by a single snprintf(), seeded from the same si2165_ops
template default that the strlcat() calls appended to.

I don't have si2165 hardware, so I tested the patch with:
- x86_64 build at W=1 with no warnings. Applies cleanly on the media
tree next branch.
- Module load/unload in an x86_64 QEMU guest.
- A userspace comparison of the old and new name construction for both
chip types; outputs are identical.
