Merge branch 'ethtool-strings'
Alexander Duyck says: ==================== ethtool: Factor out common code related to writing ethtool strings This patch set is meant to be a cleanup and refactoring of common code bits from several drivers. Specificlly a number of drivers engage in a pattern where they will use some variant on an sprintf or memcpy to write a string into the ethtool string array and then they will increment their pointer by ETH_GSTRING_LEN. Instead of having each driver implement this independently I am refactoring the code so that we have one central function, ethtool_sprintf that does all this and takes a double pointer to access the data, a formatted string to print, and the variable arguments that are associated with the string. Changes from v1: Fixed usage of char ** vs unsigned char ** in hisilicon drivers Changes from RFC: Renamed ethtool_gsprintf to ethtool_sprintf Fixed reverse xmas tree issue in patch 2 ==================== Reviewed-by:Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com> Signed-off-by:
