Many USB network drivers define get_drvinfo functions which add no
value over usbnet_get_drvinfo, only setting the driver name and
version. usbnet_get_drvinfo automatically sets the driver name, and
separate driver versions are now frowned upon in the kernel. Remove all
driver versions and replace these get_drvinfo functions with references
to usbnet_get_drvinfo where possible. Where that is not possible,
remove unnecessary code to set the driver name. Also remove two
unnecessary initializations from aqc111_get_drvinfo, an inaccurate
comment in pegasus.c, and an unused macro in catc.c.

static void catc_get_drvinfo(struct net_device *dev,

 {
 	struct catc *catc = netdev_priv(dev);
 	strscpy(info->driver, driver_name, sizeof(info->driver));

Side note: and we usually require blank line after the definition block.
On top, strscpy() in such cases can be improved to use 2-arguments variant,
as it adds a check for the destination to be an array.

-	strscpy(info->version, DRIVER_VERSION, sizeof(info->version));
 	usb_make_path(catc->usbdev, info->bus_info, sizeof(info->bus_info));
 }

static void rtl8152_get_drvinfo(struct net_device *netdev,

 	struct r8152 *tp = netdev_priv(netdev);
 
 	strscpy(info->driver, MODULENAME, sizeof(info->driver));

Ditto.

-	strscpy(info->version, DRIVER_VERSION, sizeof(info->version));
 	usb_make_path(tp->udev, info->bus_info, sizeof(info->bus_info));
 	if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(tp->rtl_fw.fw))
 		strscpy(info->fw_version, tp->rtl_fw.version,

Seems the same, and so on...
