strcpy() is generally considered unsafe and use of strscpy() is
recommended [1]

this fixes checkpatch warning:
    WARNING: Prefer strscpy over strcpy

Hi,

in order to ease the review process, when you send a new version of a 
patch, the subject line should state the version: (i.e.: [PATCH v2] ...)


It is also a good practice to explain what has changed with the previous 
version.
Finally, it is nice to provide the link on lore to the previous version.
All this should added below the first ---.
Here it could look like:

> ---

Changes in v2:
   - Remove an unneeded extra parameter (MAX_ACPI_DEVICE_NAME_LEN) in 
the 2nd strscpy() call

v1:
