[PATCH 4/4] cs5535audio: remove redundant zero fill

[Németh Márton]

From: Márton Németh <nm127@freemail.hu>

The buffer is first zeroed out by memset(). Then strncpy() is used to
fill the content. The strncpy() function also pads the string till the
end of the specified length, which is redundant. The strncpy() does not
ensures that the string will be properly closed with 0. Use strlcpy()
instead.

The semantic match that finds this kind of pattern is as follows:

// </smpl>
