Subject[PATCH] drivers: dio: replace deprecated strcpy with strscpy in dio_init
Date
strcpy() has been deprecated [1] because it performs no bounds checking
on the destination buffer, which can lead to buffer overflows. While the
current code works correctly, replace strcpy() with the safer strscpy()
to follow secure coding best practices.

Indent multiple lines using tabs instead of spaces, and use pr_info()
and avoid continuation logging while at it.
