`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1]. A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it guarantees NUL-termination on its destination buffer argument which is _not_ the case for `strncpy`! It should be noted that the current implementation is unlikely to have a bug because `drv_name` is a string literal with a size of 9 while `card->driver` has a size of 16. However, it is probably worthwhile to switch to a more robust and less ambiguous interface.
