strcpy() performs no bounds checking on the destination buffer. This could result in linear overflows beyond the end of the buffer, leading to all kinds of misbehaviors. So, this serie removes all strcpy uses from the "staging/fbtft" subsystem. Also, refactor the code a bit to follow the kernel coding-style and avoid unnecessary variable initialization. Changelog v1 -> v2 - Add two new commits to clean the code. - Use the "%*ph" format specifier instead of strscpy() function (Geert Uytterhoeven) Changelog v2 -> v3 - Change the initialization of the "j" variable in the "for" loop and update the code accordingly (Andy Shevchenko). - Improve the commit message to inform that the "%*ph" replacement won't cut output earlier than requested (Andy Shevchenko). - Don't remove the braces in the "if" statement due to the presence of the comment (Geert Uytterhoeven).
