    net: enetc: ensure imdio.name is NULL terminated after MDIO_NAME_LEN truncation · f848b480

    strncpy() simply bails out when copying a source string whose size
    exceeds the destination string size, potentially leaving the destination
    string unterminated.
    
    One possible way to address is to pass MDIO_NAME_LEN - 1 and a
    previously zero-initialized destination string, but this is more
    difficult to maintain.
    
    The chosen alternative is to use strlcpy(), which properly limits the
    copy len in the (srclen >= size) case to "size - 1", and which is also
    more efficient than the strncpy() byte-by-byte implementation by using
    memcpy. The destination string returned by strlcpy() is always NULL
    terminated.
