H A Dmax20730.cdiff 170fea88170796562a95e561a486f8403cfc747d Wed Jul 12 23:43:07 CEST 2023 Azeem Shaikh <azeemshaikh38@gmail.com> hwmon: (pmbus/max20730) Remove strlcpy occurences

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with direct assignment.

strlcpy in this file is used to copy fixed-length strings which can be
completely avoided by direct assignment and is safe to do so. strlen()
is used to return the length of @tbuf.
