The latter is the preferred way to copy ethtool strings.

Avoids manually incrementing the pointer. Cleans up the code quite well.

Perhaps this should consistently use i, rather than i and j:

        for (i = 0; i < num_cpus; i++)

Flagged by W=1 builds with clang-18.

I really need to compile test this on a PPC system.

Cross compiling should be sufficient.

There's some pointers here:
  https://github.com/linuxppc/wiki/wiki/Building-powerpc-kernels

Or there's also libc-less cross compilers on kernel.org, eg:
  https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/files/bin/x86_64/14.2.0/x86_64-gcc-14.2.0-nolibc-powerpc64-linux.tar.xz
