I think the kernel test robot should filter out any reports related to
this commit. The warning has nothing to do with the -O2 vs -Os change.
It's simply that the compiler now warns if strncpy() has the destination
size equal to the bound parameter (for some reason it doesn't do this
with -Os). I mentioned it on a different report here:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/Y%2FdM77YdzDKRDdj1@arm.com/

A potential solution to silence the compiler is to go through the ACPI
code and change those strncpy() instances to memcpy(). I don't think
those strings are even null-terminated in the APCI spec, so using
strncpy() doesn't make sense.
