Greybus currently uses strncpy() coupled with a check for '\0' on the last byte of various buffers. strncpy() is passed size parameter equal to the size of the buffer in all instances. If the source string is larger than the destination buffer the check catches this and, after logging the error, returns an error value. In one instance the immediate return is not required. Using strncpy() with the manual check adds code that could be removed by the use of strlcpy(), although truncation then needs to be checked.
Replace calls to strncpy() with calls to strlcpy(). Replace null termination checks with checks for truncated string. Add log message if string is truncated but do not return an error code.
The strlcpy() replace should be one patch. The not returning on truncation should be a separate patch.
Personally I don't think the flow should change re: returning errors on string truncation but, either way you should split it up.
