We're doing some needless string copies when trying to assign the proper
`prop` string. We can make `prop` a const char* and simply assign to
string literals.

For the case where a format string is used, let's extract the parsing
logic out into sx9324_parse_phase_prop(). We no longer need to create
copies or allocate new memory.

sx9324_parse_phase_prop() will simply return the default def value if it
fails.

This also cleans up some deprecated strncpy() uses [1].

Changes in v3:
- extract logic into sx9324_parse_phase_prop() and use string literals
  (thanks Stephen)
- rebase onto mainline bee0e7762ad2c602
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231026-strncpy-drivers-iio-proximity-sx9324-c-v2-1-cee6e5db700c@google.com

Changes in v2:
- make prop a const char* and do simple assignments (thanks Jonathan)
- rebase onto 3a568e3a961ba330

trivia:

I would have updated it like this moving the
various declarations into the case blocks
where they are used and removing a few unused
#defines

Yeah, I like this approach. Totally removes the string copying and
creates a helper that does the "heavy lifting". :)

return u8? because that's the type of struct sx_common_reg_default::def.

Do we need to do this? Isn't this reg_def->def?

I'd definitely like to see those defines gone.
Arguably an unrelated change as I guess they are left from a previous refactor
of this code.

Why prop to type renaming?  It's getting passed into calls where the parameter
is propname so I'd understand renaming to that, but type just seems a bit random
to me.  I do wonder if we are better off having some long lines and getting rid
of the property naming local variables completely by just duplicating
the device_property_read_u32() call and passing them in directly.

Moving declarations more locally is a nice to have but I'll leave that up to Justin.

Anyhow, both solutions look much better than the original so I'm fine either way
(subject to responses to Stephen's review)

random, no specific need, though I prefer not reusing
identifiers with different types in separate local scopes.
