Using strlcpy fixes this new gcc warning:
    drivers/gpu/drm/drm_property.c: In function ‘drm_property_create’:
    drivers/gpu/drm/drm_property.c:125:2: warning: ‘strncpy’ specified bound 32 equals destination size [-Wstringop-truncation]
      strncpy(property->name, name, DRM_PROP_NAME_LEN);
      ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
