A few update suggestions were taken into account
from static source code analysis.

Markus Elfring (6):
  sba_iommu: Use seq_puts() in ioc_show()
  sba_iommu: Combine four seq_printf() calls into two calls in ioc_show()
  simserial: Use seq_puts() in rs_proc_show()
  setup: Use seq_putc() in show_cpuinfo()
  sn_hwperf: Use seq_puts() in sn_topology_show()
  sn2_smp: Combine two seq_printf() calls into one call in sn2_ptc_seq_show()

A string which did not contain a data format specification should be put
into a sequence. Thus use the corresponding function "seq_puts".

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Some data were printed into a sequence by four separate function calls.
Print the same data by two function calls instead.

A single character (line break) should be put into a sequence.
Thus use the corresponding function "seq_putc".

Please think more.

printf has to inspect character by character looking for
a vsprintf % character and 0 termination.

seq_puts does a strlen then memcpy.

Which is faster?
When is it better to call 2 functions?
When does readability matter more than efficiency?

Would you prefer to use this function also at this source code place?

I think that he is expecting that you will figure out the answer by
yourself.
