Trying to copy into the string fields with strncpy() gives a warning from gcc. Both fields are part of a packed HDMI header and do not require a terminating \0 character.

Just use memcpy() instead.

As this seems to be a legitimate use of strncpy(), isn't there a way to silence the warning without requiring this additional runtime complexity ?
Yes, the original code this correct. I looked through include/string.h if there's better string function, but none fits. Most of them 0-terminate the output string.
The only simple fix seems to be to set gcc's -Wno-stringop-truncation here. I'd expect that would be an even less preferable change.
Best regards Thomas
