Subject: [PATCH 0/3] ethtool: Add ethtool_puts()

Hi,

This series aims to implement ethtool_puts() and send out a wave 1 of
conversions from ethtool_sprintf(). There's also a checkpatch patch
included to check for the cases listed below.

This was sparked from recent discussion here [1]

The conversions are used in cases where ethtool_sprintf() was being used
with just two arguments:
|       ethtool_sprintf(&data, buffer[i].name);
or when it's used with format string: "%s"
|       ethtool_sprintf(&data, "%s", buffer[i].name);
which both now become:
|       ethtool_puts(&data, buffer[i].name);

The first case commonly triggers a -Wformat-security warning with Clang
due to potential problems with format flags present in the strings [3].

The second is just a bit weird with a plain-ol' "%s".

Note that I have some outstanding patches [2] (some picked up) that use
the second case of ethtool_sprintf(). I went with this approach to clean
up some strncpy() uses and avoid -Wformat-security warnings before
discussion about implementing ...puts() arose. I will probably let the
ones that have been picked up land but send new versions for others.

Wave 1 changes found with Cocci [4] and grep [5].
