[ Upstream commit4d26d1d1e8] This reverts commit336fd4f5f2. Please note that `strlcpy()` does *NOT* do what you think it does. strlcpy() *ALWAYS* reads the full input string, regardless of the 'length' parameter. That is, if the input is not zero-terminated, strlcpy() will *READ* beyond input boundaries. It does this, because it always returns the size it *would* copy if the target was big enough, not the truncated size it actually copied. The original code was perfectly fine. The hid device is zero-initialized and the strncpy() functions copied up to n-1 characters. The result is always zero-terminated this way. This is the third time someone tried to replace strncpy with strlcpy in this function, and gets it wrong. I now added a comment that should at least make people reconsider.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
