In miiphy_register() the new device's name was initialised by passing a
string parameter as the format string to sprintf(). As this would cause
problems if it ever contained a '%' symbol, switch to using strncpy()
instead.

Changes for v2:
 - Use strncpy() rather than plain strcpy() for extra safety.
