[PATCH] ASoC: 88pm860x: refactor deprecated strncpy

[Justin Stitt]

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].

A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it
guarantees NUL-termination on its destination buffer argument which is
_not_ always the case for `strncpy`!

In this case, though, there was care taken to ensure that the
destination buffer would be NUL-terminated. The destination buffer is
zero-initialized and each `pm860x->name[i]` has a size of
`MAX_NAME_LENGTH + 1`. This means that there is unlikely to be a bug
here.

However, in an attempt to eliminate the usage of the `strncpy` API as
well as disambiguate implementations, replacements such as: `strscpy`,
`strscpy_pad`, `strtomem` and `strtomem_pad` should be preferred.

We are able to eliminate the need for `len + 1` since `strscpy`
guarantees NUL-termination for its destination buffer as per its
implementation [3]:

|       /* Hit buffer length without finding a NUL; force NUL-termination. */
|       if (res)
| 	        dest[res-1] = '\0';
