SubjectRe: [PATCH v3] staging: android: Replace strcpy with strlcpy

Can there be a buffer overflow here? If not, then strcpy is just fine
to use. Do you see a potential code path here that actually is a
problem using this?

You mean 'grep'? :)

If not, what exactly does "Flawfinder" point out is wrong with the code
here? At first glance, I can't find it, but perhaps the tool, and your
audit, provided more information?

thanks,
