Subject[PATCH] net: phy: tja11xx: replace deprecated strncpy with ethtool_sprintf
From
strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.

ethtool_sprintf() is designed specifically for get_strings() usage.
Let's replace strncpy in favor of this dedicated helper function.
