Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: caif: remove unused name

From: Jakub Kicinski <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 10 Sep 2024 18:52:28 -0700

Justin sent a patch to use strscpy_pad() instead of strncpy()
on the name field. Simon rightly asked why the _pad() version
is used, and looking closer name seems completely unused,
the last code which referred to it was removed in
commit 8391c4aab1aa ("caif: Bugfixes in CAIF netdevice for close and flow control")

It's a bit unusual to take over patch submissions but the initial
submission was too low effort to count :|
