Subject: [PATCH] Input: synaptics-rmi4 - replace deprecated strncpy

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1]

Let's use memcpy() as the bounds have already been checked and this
decays into a simple byte copy from one buffer to another removing any
ambiguity that strncpy has.

Note: build-tested only.

Similar to Kees' suggestion here [2]
