"The size argument ... is only required when dst is not an array" [1] And destination buffers here are actually arrays from `include/acpi/acpi_bus.h` ``` typedef char acpi_bus_id[8]; ... typedef char acpi_device_name[40]; typedef char acpi_device_class[20]; ``` https://docs.kernel.org/core-api/kernel-api.html#c.strscpy [1] I will resend this patch, with the parameter removed. Thanks, Abdul Rahim
