Coverity warning: strncpy(cpi->dev_name, cam_sim_name(sim),
DEV_IDLEN);

I notice this code sprinkled through the sources:
strncpy(cpi->dev_name, cam_sim_name(sim), DEV_IDLEN);
This trips up coverity because it does not know for sure
that the string returned by cam_sim_name() is going to
be DEV_IDLEN-1 characters long.
Should we switch these calls to strlcpy? Is there a smarter
thing to do to code more defensively?
thank you,
