[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 12/18] drivers: net: sfc: fix another strncpy size and NUL

[Andrew Rybchenko]

Many thanks. I guess the most of below notes are applicable to many other
patches in the series.

Signed-off-by: ,  Fixes: and Cc: stable at dpdk.org tags are missing. See [1].

Changeset summary should start from "net/sfc: "
I.e. something like:
net/sfc: fix strncpy size and NUL

(it looks like "another" is useless in the original subject)

In general all patches should pass ./devtools/check-git-log.sh and 
./devtools/checkpatches.sh
(which requires path to Linux kernel checkpatches.pl).

Andrew.

In fact strlcpy() should be used.
