strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
A suitable replacement is strscpy() [2] due to the fact that it
guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without
unnecessarily NUL-padding.
bcm_enet_get_drvinfo() already uses strscpy(), let's match it's
implementation:
| static void bcm_enet_get_drvinfo(struct net_device *netdev,
| struct ethtool_drvinfo *drvinfo)
| {
| strscpy(drvinfo->driver, bcm_enet_driver_name, sizeof(drvinfo->driver));
| strscpy(drvinfo->bus_info, "bcm63xx", sizeof(drvinfo->bus_info));
| }
Note that now bcm_enet_get_drvinfo() and bcm_enetsw_get_drvinfo() do the
exact same thing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
