Subject: [PATCH] Input: mouse: vsxxxaa: Replace strlcat() with strscpy()
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2026 22:23:18 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104062319.288360-1-nikitash.mariiaw@gmail.com> (raw)
In preparation for removing the deprecated strlcat() API[1], use
strscpy() to initialize the mouse device name.
The destination is zero-initialized, and the constant string fits
within the buffer. Since the return value is unused, this preserves
the existing behavior.
