Simon Horman 26919411ac net: dsa: microchip: copy string using strscpy
Prior to this patch ksz_ptp_msg_irq_setup() uses snprintf() to copy
strings. It does so by passing strings as the format argument of
snprintf(). This appears to be safe, due to the absence of format
specifiers in the strings, which are declared within the same function.
But nonetheless GCC 14 warns about it:

.../ksz_ptp.c:1109:55: warning: format string is not a string literal (potentially insecure) [-Wformat-security]
 1109 |         snprintf(ptpmsg_irq->name, sizeof(ptpmsg_irq->name), name[n]);
      |                                                              ^~~~~~~
.../ksz_ptp.c:1109:55: note: treat the string as an argument to avoid this
 1109 |         snprintf(ptpmsg_irq->name, sizeof(ptpmsg_irq->name), name[n]);
      |                                                              ^
      |                                                              "%s",

As what we are really dealing with here is a string copy, it seems make
sense to use a function designed for this purpose. In this case null
padding is not required, so strscpy is appropriate. And as the
destination is an array of fixed size, the 2-argument variant may be used.

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 reStructuredText 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.
