This patch converts some basic cases of ethtool_sprintf() to
ethtool_puts().
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, "
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(&d
Use strscpy() to implement ethtool_puts().
Functionally the same as ethtool_sprintf() when it's used with two
arguments or with just "%s" format specifier.

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]
