Please don't be _just_ mechanical.

Stop and read the code the tools you use using
suggest modifying and see how you can improve
it for a human reader.

If you're really trying to improve these to make
them more readable or smaller object code size, 
you should use the vsprintf extensions like:

		seq_printf(m, "dpcd: %*ph\n", DP_RECEIVER_CAP_SIZE, buf);

And if these are supposed to be correct, then
the return value from drm_dp_dpcd_read should
be tested too.

Likely these repeated code blocks could be put
into a helper function.
