[PATCH v10 loongarch-next 3/3] LoongArch: Replace seq_printf with seq_puts for simple strings
Posted by George Guo 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Fix warnings like: "Prefer seq_puts to seq_printf" by checkpatch.pl.

Replace seq_printf() calls with seq_puts() in show_cpuinfo()
when outputting simple constant strings without format specifiers.

This improves performance slightly as seq_puts() avoids parsing
the format string.

trivia:

Not sure this is better style as it's fairly difficult to read.

Maybe a macro might help, something like:

#define seq_cpu_feature(m, feature) \
	if (cpu_has_##feature) seq_puts(m, " " #feature)

	seq_cpu_feature(m, cpucfg);
	seq_cpu_feature(m, lam);

etc.

Seems just some bikesheedings, the current style is OK at least for
me. Since George has worked on this series for a very long time, let's
stop changing and get it merged.
