No.  Stop removing these warnings.  Remove the use of strncpy by all
means, but don't run checkpatch over other people's code.

You've been told to stop doing it before.  Now I'm telling you again.

Seriously, what's this initialisation for?

The variable gets assigned here.

I'm also not a fan of random whitespace updates throughout this file. It
makes backporting fixes harder later on.
