Subject: [PATCH] net: macb: use ethtool_sprintf to fill ethtool stats strings
Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2026 22:29:31 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260302142931.49108-1-seanwascoding@gmail.com> (raw)
The RISC-V toolchain triggers a stringop-truncation warning when using
snprintf() with a fixed ETH_GSTRING_LEN (32 bytes) buffer.
Convert the driver to use the modern ethtool_sprintf() API from
linux/ethtool.h. This removes the need for manual snprintf() and
memcpy() calls, handles the 32-byte padding automatically, and
simplifies the logic by removing manual pointer arithmetic.

his patch was previously part of a SUNRPC/NFSD series [1], but is now
sent as a standalone cleanup as suggested by Andy Shevchenko to avoid
cross-subsystem dependencies.
