strncpy() is deprecated. This patch series is split over two patches,
the first of which annotates destinations with __nonstring, and the
second replaces strncpy() with strtomem() in the ACPI_COPY_NAMESEG
macro. Additionally, two replacements in drivers/acpi/acpica/tbfind.c:60
with memcpy().

This is an effort to avoid using deprecated interfaces, and potential
compiler warnings in the future.
