[ 178/218] media: cx25821: Remove bad strcpy to read-only char*

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Sep 28 2012 - 16:31:05 EST


3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ezequiel Garcia <elezegarcia@xxxxxxxxx>

commit c854d8883fec59332f0662917f8c94dcfb1c405d upstream.

The strcpy was being used to set the name of the board.
This was both wrong and redundant,
since the destination char* was read-only and
the name is set statically at compile time.

The type of the name field is changed to const char*
to prevent future errors.
