====================
ethtool: Add ethtool_puts()

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".

Changes found with Cocci [4] and grep [5].

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
