strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings

interfaces.
Let's use the new 2-argument strscpy() which guarantees NUL-termination
on the destination buffer while also simplifying the syntax. Note that
strscpy() will not NUL-pad the destination buffer like strncpy() does.
However, the NUL-padding behavior of strncpy() is not required since
fbdev is already NUL-allocated from au1200fb_drv_probe() ->
frameuffer_alloc(), rendering any additional NUL-padding redundant.
| p = kzalloc(fb_info_size + size, GFP_KERNEL);

I wonder if you really build-tested this, as this driver is for the mips
architecture...
And I don't see a strscpy() function which takes just 2 arguments.
But I might be wrong....
