Subject: mtd: pmcmsp: use kstrndup instead of kmalloc+strncpy
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=906b268477bc03daaa04f739844c120fe4dbc991;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

mtd: pmcmsp: use kstrndup instead of kmalloc+strncpy

kernelci.org reports a warning for this driver, as it copies a local
variable into a 'const char *' string:

    drivers/mtd/maps/pmcmsp-flash.c:149:30: warning: passing argument 1 of 'strncpy' discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]

Using kstrndup() simplifies the code and avoids the warning.
