Subject: [PATCH] bcm63xx_enet: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy

strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.

A suitable replacement is strscpy() [2] due to the fact that it
guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without
unnecessarily NUL-padding.

bcm_enet_get_drvinfo() already uses strscpy(), let's match it's
implementation:
|       static void bcm_enet_get_drvinfo(struct net_device *netdev,
|       				 struct ethtool_drvinfo *drvinfo)
|       {
|       	strscpy(drvinfo->driver, bcm_enet_driver_name, sizeof(drvinfo->driver));
|       	strscpy(drvinfo->bus_info, "bcm63xx", sizeof(drvinfo->bus_info));
|       }

Note that now bcm_enet_get_drvinfo() and bcm_enetsw_get_drvinfo() do the
exact same thing.
