Subject: [PATCH] net/mediatek: strlcpy withreturn

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().

Direct replacement is safe here since DEV_ASSIGN is only used by
TRACE macros and the return values are ignored.
