strncpy() is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [0]
and as such we should prefer more robust and less ambiguous string interfaces.
The CAPI (part II) [1] states that the manufacturer id should be a
"zero-terminated ASCII string" and should "always [be] zero-terminated."
Much the same for the serial number: "The serial number, a seven-digit
number coded as a zero-terminated ASCII string".
Along with this, its clear the original author intended for these
buffers to be NUL-padded as well. To meet the specification as well as
properly NUL-pad, use strscpy_pad().
In doing this, an opportunity to simplify this code is also present.
Remove the min_t() and combine the length check into the main if.
