`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings
[1] and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string
interfaces.
NUL-padding is not required since card is already zero-initialized:
| card = kzalloc(sizeof(*card), GFP_KERNEL);
A suitable replacement is `strscpy` [2] due to the fact that it
guarantees NUL-termination on the destination buffer without
unnecessarily NUL-padding.

Yup, this looks like a standard direct replacement.
