The latter is the preferred way to copy ethtool strings.

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

for ice, igb, igc, and ixgbe the current code already uses ethtool
string helpers, and in many places you are just changing variable name,
"p" to "data", I would rather avoid that.

well, since I'm cleaning some of this code up, might as well get rid
of variables. That was suggested to me with other similar patches.

sorry for not spotting that earlier, and apologies that we have so many
drivers to fix up in the first place

really no need to git-blame touch most of the code here>

Actually the function should be taking a double pointer here I think
in case something gets called after it in the main function.

I mean that both @p and @data are (u8 *).
I'm fine getting rid of tmp var, and updating the originally passed
argument is fine. But you could achieve it by just changing param name.

BTW I guess it was @p to fit into 80 chars more easily ;)

Yeah I think so too.
