Subject: [PATCH] net: b44: use ethtool_puts
Date: Sat, 30 May 2026 17:03:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260531000334.388351-1-rosenp@gmail.com> (raw)
There's a subtle error with the memcpy here, where b44_gstrings should
not be dereferenced. Dereferening causes the following error with W=1:

| ^
Instead of fixing the memcpy, use ethtool_puts, which is the proper
helper for printing ethtool gstrings.
