This indeed makes the warning go away, but that's more so due to the
use of strscpy now rather than snprintf. That alone is a good change
but we still have definite truncation. See below:

I see the Mag.Graph change here; I'm curious why MagicGraph256XL+
didn't need that, too?
MagicGraph128ZV+
MagicGraph256XL+
those look like the same number of characters; are they? Does this one
need the `.` change?

Builds without error for me. Though I guess the compiler doesn't know
what strscpy is semantically.
Ah
MagicGraph128ZV+
MagicGraph256XL+
are both 17 characters. (16 literal characters + trailing NUL)
So MagicGraph256XL+ (and MagicGraph256AV+) below will fail to copy the
NUL from the source, then overwrite the `+` with NUL IIUC.
There's no ambiguity for MagicGraph256XL+, but now MagicGraph256AV+
would look like MagicGraph256AV which is another possible variant.
Then perhaps MagicGraph256XL+ MagicGraph256AV+ and below might need to change.
Sorry, initially it looked like a simple fix and I was ready to sign
off on it; I hope I'm mistaken. Thank you for the patch, but do
consider sending it to the ML for review before committing.
