In DPDK API's rte_strlcpy() is not intended to be used directly. It was introduced as a replacement for when operating system libraries were missing strlcpy(). Over time it appears several drivers and subsystems started using it directly, which is inefficient since the wrapper uses snprintf().
This series makes sure that the only usage of rte_strlcpy() is in rte_string_fns.h where it is needed. Perhaps checkpatch should warn about other uses?
