Hi,

Please backport commit:

0faf84caee63 ("cpufreq: Replace deprecated strncpy() with strscpy()")

to stable trees 5.10.y, 5.15.y, 6.1.y and 6.6.y. This commit fixes possible Buffer not null terminated of "policy->last_governor" and "default_governor" in __cpufreq_offline() and cpufreq_core_init().

Are any in-kernel users actually affected by this? At a quick glance, I can't see any, so why would it need to be backported?

thanks,
