I'd say it should be better to change OSAL_STRNCPY to OSAL_STRLCPY and
modify the macro to use strlcpy, so we avoid further uses of that strlcpy.
However, this modifies base driver code, so it is up to the maintainers to make
that decision.
(CC'ing maintainers here).
There's no value for any OSAL_* that simply defines itself to be the
same as the direct api, as does OSAL_STRNCPY.
It's better to just remove any OSAL_* that calls straight through since
all it does is obfuscate what the code does, for no benefit.
Also, missing fixes line and CC stable.
Fixes: 8427c6647964 ("net/qede/base: add attention formatting string")
The idea of this "Fixes" thing is to look up in git blame what is being
edited is it? If so what's the benefit of that over using git if you
ever want to know that?
