Many of the ethtool statistics use the same basic logic for copying strings into the supplied buffer. A set of stats are stored in a const array of i40e_stats structures, and we apply these all together. Simplify the stats code by introducing a helper function which can take a stats array and copy the strings into the buffer, updating the buffer pointer as we go. We use a macro to implement i40e_add_stat_strings so that ARRAY_SIZE can be used on the array passed in. This ensures that we always use the matching size in __i40e_add_stat_strings. More complex stats currently do not use i40e_stats arrays, usually due to custom formatted strings, or because the stats are not laid out in the expected way. These stats will be updated to use the helper function in separate future patches.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
