[PATCH v2 1/3] staging/fbtft: Remove all strcpy() uses

[Len Baker]

strcpy() performs no bounds checking on the destination buffer. This
could result in linear overflows beyond the end of the buffer, leading
to all kinds of misbehaviors. The safe replacement is strscpy() but in
this case it is simpler to use the "%*ph" format specifier.
