This is a good change.  But while you're at it, I would
appreciate if you would convert a few spots to use
sizeof(dest) rather than a fixed constant.  I will
point them out below.

If this is the *only* request for a change on your
series, please tell me that and I can sign off on
this without you implementing my suggestion.  But
if you post a version 2, please do what I describe.

Thanks.

Please use this here instead:

	strscpy(desc.name, gbmodule->name, sizeof(desc.name));

Please use this here instead:

		strscpy(uinfo->value.enumerated.name, name,
			sizeof(uinfo->valiue.enumerated.name));

(I know NAME_SIZE is used throughout this file, and
could also be converted in this way, but we can save
that for another patch.)
