Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] SCSI: fusion: ensure NUL-termination of MptCallbacksName elements


Using strlcpy instead of memcpy makes the strlen() calls superfluous
and also ensures zero-termination of the copied string.
At the same time get rid of the magic constant 50.

Actually, I can't see why copying the callback name is necessary
instead of simply storing a pointer to it (just like to the callback
function itself), but that goes beyond the scope of this fix.
