[PATCH] net: phy: smsc: fix buffer overflow in memcpy

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Tue Jun 20 2017 - 16:41:24 EST


The memcpy annotation triggers for a fixed-length buffer copy:

/git/arm-soc/include/linux/string.h:309:4: error: call to '__read_overflow2' declared with attribute error: detected read beyond size of object passed as 2nd parameter

Using strncpy instead of memcpy should do the right thing here.
