[PATCH 1/3] staging: fbtft: use strncpy instead of strcpy

From: Sudip Mukherjee
Date: Sat Sep 05 2015 - 09:44:06 EST


Using strcpy() is a security risk as the destination buffer size is not
checked and we may over-run the buffer. Use strncpy() instead, while
mentioning the buffer size leaving place for the NULL termination.
