Subject: [PATCH v2] net: dsa: lan9303: use ethtool_sprintf() for lan9303_get_strings()
This pattern of strncpy with some pointer arithmetic setting fixed-sized
intervals with string literal data is a bit weird so let's use
ethtool_sprintf() as this has more obvious behavior and is less-error
prone.
Nicely, we also get to drop a usage of the now deprecated strncpy() [1].
One might consider this pattern:
| ethtool_sprintf(&buf, lan9303_mib[u].name);
... but this triggers a -Wformat-security warning.
