checkpatch: add ethtool_sprintf rules
Add some warnings for using ethtool_sprintf() where a simple ethtool_puts() would suffice. The two cases are: 1) Use ethtool_sprintf() with just two arguments: | ethtool_sprintf(&data, driver[i].name); or 2) Use ethtool_sprintf() with a standalone "%s" fmt string: | ethtool_sprintf(&data, "%s", driver[i].name); The former may cause -Wformat-security warnings while the latter is just not preferred. Both are safely in the category of warnings, not errors. Signed-off-by: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com> Reviewed-by: Przemek Kitszel <przemyslaw.kitszel@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
