[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 05/23] stdio: remove useless strncpy

From: Vincent Palatin <vpalatin at chromium.org>

The name is already copied when we memcpy() the whole structure.

This is because struct stdio_dev has this field:

	char	name[16];		/* Device name				*/

So the data is inline, rather than being a pointer.
