Okay, I will make the description size larger and use strncpy().

I introduced this space because checkpatch.pl gave an error without the space:
ERROR: need consistent spacing around '*' (ctx:WxV)
#1786: FILE: ./include/kunit/test.h:1786:
+		typeof((array)[0]) *__next = prev ? ((typeof(__next)) prev) + 1 : (array);	\

But, if this is a mistake as it doesn't recognize __next to be a pointer, I will remove the space.
