Commit Message

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.

There was some discussion here [1] but AFAICT I need to use EMACS
or configure my vim in a very particular way to get the same formatting

But yeah, look around line 7000 -- lots of this pattern matching code is
pretty hard to read. Not sure there's much to be done as far as readability
is concerned.

Ah, I didn't see you provided a diff in previous thread.

Yeah you can push it but it's not really a standalone so perhaps I'll
just steal the diff and
wrap into v3?
