This allows the string to be passed directly to sscanf() without requiring a temporary copy. Remove the deprecated and unnecessary strncpy() and the corresponding local variables, and pass the buffer buf directly to sscanf(). Replace sscanf() with kstrtoint() to silence checkpatch warnings. Compile-tested only.
