[PATCH v2 0/2] scsi: bfa: Replace strlcat() in symbolic name construction

[Mariia Nikitash]

This series replaces the strlcat() uses in BFA symbolic name
construction with snprintf().

Patch 1 converts bfa_fcs_fabric_nsymb_init().
Patch 2 converts bfa_fcs_fabric_psymb_init().

---

Changes since v1:
- Split the BFA changes out of the original cross-subsystem series.
- Patch 1: no code changes.
- Patch 2: use a single snprintf() call for both host_os_patch cases
  and drop the explicit final NUL assignment.

[PATCH v2 1/2] scsi: bfa: Use snprintf() in bfa_fcs_fabric_nsymb_init()

[Mariia Nikitash]

From: Bill Wendling <morbo@google.com>

bfa_fcs_fabric_nsymb_init() constructs the node symbolic name using
strscpy() followed by five strlcat() calls and explicit NUL-termination.

In preparation for removing the deprecated strlcat() API[1], replace the
chained string copies with a single snprintf() call.

[PATCH v2 2/2] scsi: bfa: Use snprintf() in bfa_fcs_fabric_psymb_init()

[Mariia Nikitash]

From: Bill Wendling <morbo@google.com>

Similar to bfa_fcs_fabric_nsymb_init(), bfa_fcs_fabric_psymb_init()
builds the port symbolic name using strscpy() and a chain of seven or
eight strlcat() calls.

In preparation for removing the deprecated strlcat() API[1], replace the
chained strscpy() and strlcat() calls with a single snprintf() call.

An empty host_os_patch naturally contributes no characters through %s,
allowing both cases to be handled by the same snprintf() call. Since
snprintf() also NUL-terminates the destination, the explicit final NUL
assignment can be dropped.
