Two strings should be quickly put into a sequence by two function calls.
Thus use the function "seq_puts" instead of "seq_printf".

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.  
Can you please explain what the issue really is and what you're trying
to do here?  
Is the function "seq_puts" a bit more efficient for the desired output
of a single string in comparison to calling the function "seq_printf"
for this purpose?
Will you please be so kind and tell us?

One shouldn't need to dig into Coccinelle patterns to find
out what you mean,  
Why did an attribution for a software tool confuse you?
I'm not confused. I'm saying that one shouldn't need to dig into
Coccinelle patterns to find out what you mean.

and "strings should be quickly put into a sequence"
isn't terribly helpful.  
Which wording would you find more appropriate for the suggested
adjustment of these function calls?
Whatever describes the actual issue and what you're doing about it.
Turn your rhetorical question above into a commit message, done.

Compare that with your original commit message, on the other hand,
and you should understand what I mean.
