Thanks for the fix, but see below.

Please use strlcpy. strncpy is broken by design (result isn't
guaranteed to be NUL-terminated.)

Also, DRIVER_NAME ("nmk-i2c") is not a good adapter name. It's cryptic
and not unique if there is more than 1 such adapter on the system. I
would instead suggest something like:

	snprintf(adap->name, sizeof(adap->name), "Nomadik I2C at %lx\n",
		 (unsigned long)res->start);
