strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().

Direct replacement is safe here since DEV_ASSIGN is only used by
TRACE macros and the return values are ignored.

Looks good -- thing is using return values from the macros.

Just to confirm, you mean *not* using return values from the macros?

Why did you take this? mt76 is in active development so risk of
conflicts is high.

There didn't seem to be any further activity for 3 weeks, and it was a
relatively mechanical change. I can drop it from my tree. What's needed
for it to be picked up through wireless?

I thought I'd replied to this, but I see it didn't happen: yes, I meant
"not using return values". Sorry for the confusion!

That's because the wireless trees were on a summer break:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/87y1kncuh4.fsf@kernel.org/

> I can drop it from my tree.

Yes, please drop this. And in the future don't take any wireless patches
unless acked by Johannes or me, I want to minimize the risk of conflicts
between the trees. If a patch is missed for whatever reason please let
me know, do not take it to your tree.

> What's needed for it to be picked up through wireless?

I don't know why Felix didn't take this patch but now I assigned it to
me on patchwork:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20230703181256.3712079-1-azeemshaikh38@gmail.com/

It should be in wireless-next this week.
